Jaycelyn Gail Colestock

In Loving Memory of Jaycelyn Gail Colestock Jaycelyn Colestock, 71, of New Brighton, MN; graduated to her heavenly reward, on August 21st, 2023, after a brief fight with an aggressive cancer. She was a beloved mother, a pillar of faith in her community and a devoted servant of Yeshua the Messiah. Her extraordinary passion for life and joy of growing will be missed by all who knew her. She was born in Los Angeles, CA in October 1951 to Herman and Gertrude Schwartz, but lived most of her early years in Oak Park, MI and spent many summers playing on the beaches at a cabin near Leamington, in southern Ontario. She went to Oak Park High School and later started college at Wayne State in the Detroit area. Her mother's untimely death when Jaycelyn was only 20 gave her a reason to travel to Israel due to her Jewish heritage where she stayed a few months on a kibbutz. Her search for meaning led her to become a believer in Yeshua in her twenties. A short time later she met Mark on an awkward blind date, who she eventually married in March of 1977 in Michigan, although they established themselves in New Brighton, Minnesota not long afterwards. Initially, Jaycelyn worked as a secretary for a couple years, and took on the wonderful challenge of a stay-at-home mom when their first son, Loren, came along. Two more sons, Stephen and Daniel came along over the next several years. When her children were nearly grown, she then started work as a clinical office receptionist. She continued to work at that position until early July 2023, when her failing health forced her to retire. From about 2010 to the present time, she was an active member of Kehilat Sar Shalom where she loved to participate in worship with Messianic dance music. She also taught both beginning and advanced Hebrew classes, women's bible studies as well as being an outgoing greeter for new attenders. Jaycelyn was preceded in death by her parents and brother Joel. She is survived by her loving husband, Mark, her three children, Loren, Stephen, and Daniel, her one grandchild, Jack, and her sister Francine. The viewing will be held on Sunday August 27th 2PM - 6PM at the Washburn-McReavy Chapel - 4101 Central Ave NE, Columbia Heights MN. A private family interment will be held later. Wednesday August 30th, 2023, 7PM Memorial Service at Kehilat Sar Shalom - 2734 Rhode Island Ave S, St Louis Park, MN 55426. In lieu of gifts and flowers to the family please make donations to Sar Shalom which will be given to a charity interest of the families choosing later on- these will be greatly appreciated.
