Jalynn “Jay” Campion of Nampa passed away peacefully on Monday April 17, 2017, surrounded by family.

Born on April 29, 1952 in Pueblo, CO to Carl Arthur “Doc” Blanchard and Cornelia M. “Connie” Blanchard, Jay developed an adoration for animals starting at an early age, where she participated in 4-H and later progressed to training horses, but her passion was showing dogs, particularly the Bouvier des Flandres.

She is survived by her parents, her husband of 29 years Robert C. Campion, Jr., her brother Rodney C. Blanchard, her children Amanda L. Schroeder (David) and Ryan J. Navin (Melissa), and her four grandchildren Ciara Navin, Ethan Navin, Ainsley Schroeder, and Seth Schroeder.  She was preceded in death by her sister, Susan E. Blanchard.

Idaho services are scheduled for 1:00 pm on Saturday April 22, 2017 at Alsip and Persons Funeral Chapel in Nampa, followed by a casual get-together at TGI Fridays. Colorado services are scheduled for 10:00 am on Friday April 28, 2017 at Primrose Retirement Community in Pueblo.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that friends write memories of Jay to give to her grandchildren.
