So sorry for your loss. Cindy Mills (Hadder) and several young ladies were very good friends at ASU. Jayme Kay, Betty Kate, Susan True. Jayme had painted a canvas painting of one of her school boots and had given it to Cindy. I still have it. Just wanted to share a little memory. Prayers for your families.

Ms. Huff was a cherished customer of mine I had the pleasure of getting to know over the past year and a half at the bank. Always upbeat, always positive. I am truly saddened to hear of her passing. Her impact on others was clear; she shared with me her passion for education and caring for children. She will be missed dearly.
Sending my sincere condolences and best wishes to her family and loves ones.

Jayme Kay and I go back to grade school in McCrory, Arkansas. Us girls used to make clover leaf necklaces during lunch hour out on the campus lawn. She was a very special person and friend of mine. I shared many of her causes , especially the Dakota Pipeline fight against the Oil barons. She taught me so much. Her aim was purposeful and fearless, unceasing in her fight for justice and our Mother Earth. Soft spoken she shared her truth. I will miss her until we meet again.

I've known you Huff kids since we all grew up in church together. I got to be Jayme Kay's Jr High cheerleader sponsor when I taught school in McCrory and formed an "adult" relationship with her. She was a "hoot"!! She liked to hang out with Sally as well. I ran into her several years ago and rekindled memories. A talented teacher and artist as well as a great sister to you all. This is a sad time for you all and to friends who knew her. God Bless you all.
Sally, prayers for you in the loss of your niece. Y'all were so close.

My memories of Jayme Kay go back as far as I can remember. They were good memories of a gentle soul. She was a true warrior for those less fortunate and spent her life speaking for them and working with them. Rest In Peace sweet soul. Your work here was kindness, and you were the best. I’ll remember you with much love. Gayle
