Jaine Roberts Springer of Mercer Island died peacefully on February 7,2023. Born on April 15, 1927 to parents Clive E. and Flossie M. Roberts (nee Miller) of Colfax, WA, Jaine graduated from Colfax High School and Mills College.

Throughout her life, Jaine was an avid reader of fiction, biographies and current events. A tomboy as a child, she was a golfer, a swimmer, and also a serious walker who could be seen most days on the trails of South Mercer Island with her Sealyham puppy.

Jaine is survived by her 7 children: J. Scott Deasy (Kathy); Kay Deasy (Len Sorrin); Craig Deasy (Karol); Beth Rohlfing (Jim); Sara Graham (Bret); Annie Springer; and Clive Springer (Diana), 13 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren.
