Colling-Bello, Jaime A.
Charismatic, friendly, dedicated, beautiful, bright and the best mother… when you think of Jaime Colling-Bello, those are just a few of the words that come to mind. She lit up every room she entered, and her loving personality shone onto everyone who knew her.
Unfortunately, the world lost one of its brightest lights on April 12, 2021, when Jaime unexpectedly passed away. She is survived by her ex-husband Tom Bello, and their two children, Samantha and Thomas; parents Brian and Sharon; sister Tracy; brother Brian (KC “Snoop”); nephews Nathan, Brandon and William; niece Kaylee; long-time partner, Justin Lucci; beloved uncle Bobby; and many other family members and friends.
Born on September 1, 1976, Jaime was a happy, bubbly and loving child to everyone she met. She is remembered as being “so cute, you just had to hug her.” She played as a softball catcher for Fairport High School, where she graduated in 1995, and at SUNY Oneonta.
Jaime began her career at Wegmans in 1992 in the Bakery department. On her first day on the job, Tracy told her, “I’m not your sister here. We’re coworkers. Don’t embarrass me.” At the time of her passing, Jaime was a Store Manager at Ocean New Jersey. She was a dedicated, hard-working employee who was beloved by her colleagues and friends.
Jaime’s most cherished role was being a mother. Samantha and Thomas were the center of her world, and everything she did was for them.
In her free time, Jaime loved to go to Pearl Jam concerts with her dad, Brian and KC. The concerts took them to places like Florida, Detroit, New York City and Italy. She also enjoyed the family’s yearly vacations to Ocean City, New Jersey. She had a very close relationship with both of her parents. Her mom was one of her best friends, and she and her dad enjoyed stargazing together at night.
Jaime’s biggest joy was to help others before herself. Her selfless, loving, kind and open spirit will live on in her children, her family members and her friends. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Calling hours are Monday, April 19, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Richard H. Keenan Funeral Home at 7501 Pittsford-Palmyra Road in Fairport. A private service will be held at the convenience of the family.
In lieu of flowers, Jaime’s family requests donations to the American Diabetes Association.

What a beautiful person inside and out! When I thought of you, it was never as a boss, but of a sister! You will forever be in my thoughts!
Ms. Jaime you will be truly missed at the cherry hill store, you were part of the OG’s and you know I love the OG’s you were an awesome Manager since day one. So it saddens me that you are no longer with us. I am so happy I got to see you and laugh with you one last time. I was so happy you were around again. My condolences to the family. I will keep you all close to my heart during this hard time.
My heart was broken when I heard this terrible news. Jaime was my manager at Wegmans Princeton many years ago. I always had so much admiration and respect for her. She was an amazing manager, mentor and co worker but more importantly an amazing human being. She was so helpful to me while I was working full time and going to school. Unfortunately,I haven’t seen her in many years but I often thought of her. I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to her family, what a beautiful soul the world has lost. I will always remember her fondly.
Not only loved by Uncle Bobby..her aunt Meg Colling,Linda Combs. Her other uncles, Kerry, Pat, Mike,Tom, and Kevin Colling
And her 95 year old great grandmother Joan Colling
And her 95 year old grandmother Joan Colling
I am still in shock, such a wonderful soul taken too soon, she is in God’s hands and I will always remember her chubby cheek joke when I was little. Miss you and love you cousin. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Brian and family, I was heartbroken to learn of Jaime’s passing, a tremendous loss. I met her in person last year and she was a sweetheart, just wonderful to talk to. I feel blessed to have met her. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers during the difficult days ahead.

Oh, Jamie…..what a gut-punch when I heard….I’ll always remember how you got a kick out of Nichole and I twinning for the family holiday visit. You were always so gracious to me; even when you didn’t have to be. ( This MOUTH?) I’ll always regret that I didn’t get to hug you when I saw you again after years apart. I didn’t realize that I had grown to love you, but I know it NOW. Gonna miss you.
Sending love,prayers, and comforting thoughts to Tom,Samantha and Thomas.

So sorry to hear of Jaime’s passing. We went to high school together and I have fond memories of her sweet personality. May you look down upon your legacies, your children, and guide them from above. Rest In Peace, my friend.
Your beautiful spirit touched everyone you came in contact with Jamie. . you will always be in our thoughts and our hearts.

You were always a sweet beautiful person you will be missed .. sending love and prayers to her kids & family ?
I remember your smile and a clamness about you. Always seemed to have control, even when we knew things were hectic. Keeping your babies and family in prayer. Rest baby girl, rest now in peace?
Jaime was always a sweet person to talk too and always made an effort to see how you were doing. We had many fun chats and times during my career at Wegmans Cherry Hill. Rest In Peace.
Larry….remember YOU and your big,enthusiastic ? You were always willing to assist when needed; know that you’re missed at CH.
I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Jamie. I have so many memories of young Jamie working in the bakery department at Perinton.
I was so proud of her and her WEGMANS career. I was blessed to have had
the opportunity to work with so many Colling family members. My heart and prayers go out to each and everyone of you at this difficult time.
Jaime was the spark of life at Wegmans, and surely the spark of life for all who came in contact with her. I will miss her smiling face.
I am a customer at Wegman’s Ocean Twp. and every Saturday morning I would look forward to my chats with Jaime during my shopping trip. Jaime always had a kind and friendly word for me, no matter how busy she was at work. She once told me she was looking forward to going “away” with her kids for Christmas, to her parents home to spend the holidays. Her family was her life and even during our brief encounters I realized what a great parent and person she was. She left such an impression.
Words fail to describe the tremendous loss we feel as a result of your passing. My brother was lucky to have met you and your children are so special to us. We will always watch over them and preserve your memory in their hearts and minds. They will always be reminded of what a caring, beautiful, and special person you were. I know you will always watch over them and guide Tommy, Sam and Thomas from above. Rest in Peace Sweet Jaime.

Until we meet again Natalie, Tom, Alexandra and Olivia
There are no words to express the profound grief we feel with Jaime’s sudden passing. We were proud
to welcome her into our family and our pride in her success at Wegman’s and in her deep love for her
children were boundless.
Our prayers go out to her devoted parents, and loving brother, sister and extended family in the
unimaginable loss they have suffered.
Thank you, Jaime, for the gift of our grandchildren, Samantha and Thomas, and the memories you
inspired that, in time, we pray will transcend our deep sadness. Your kind and generous heart, your
sincerity and integrity and love of family are a tribute to the wonderful woman you were. You left an
indelible mark on all who were fortunate to know you. We vow to continue to instill those same values
in your children and to celebrate your life and memory with them while you guide them from above.
May you rest in peace in the arms of Our Lord.
Mary and Jack

You got me through some rough times by just having that shoulder to cry on. You will always have a special place in my heart. Its so hard to wrap my brain around sucb a tremendous loss. Fly high our angel…
Brian, Sharon and family so sorry for your loss…..
BOWLING BALL your new adventure is just begining. You have a brand new body without defects, no pain, no more sorrow, or heart aches no more disease and all eternity to have endless adventures with Tar, Bruce. Both your grandpas, your grandmother Hicks. The love and tenderness you’ve spread around on earth will be spread throughout all creation. God bless you Jaime.
Jaime….you were taken from us far too soon but taken to a far better place for sure. A place of pure joy, immediate healing, and unfathomable peace. While our hearts have been so heavy the past week with sadness that you are no longer with us, we also have enjoyed remembering our special times with you at Wegmans. Stories about you and David as good friends (and Rochesterians) for 20 years growing the division in NJ, and you welcoming me with open arms as my first employee representative when I joined the company. Your bright light shines within your beautiful children, and we have been praying for healing comfort to be sent their way. May God bless your Family, your Children, and you Jaime. You now have your Halo Sweet Angel.

Shocking and deeply saddened by the loss of Jamie. One of the best bosses I have ever had. My deepest condolences to all that have been touched by this loss. RIP Jamie, you will be missed.
Please accept my deepest sympathies on Jamie’s passing. I will fondly remember Jamie because she always stopped to speak to me and say good morning at the Ocean Township Wegmans. Jamie would always call me by name (even if I wasn’t wearing my name tag.) Thank you for your kindness, Jamie – I will always remember you for that! Sending positive thoughts to the family during this time.
Jay lo, I will truly miss you and I will always remember the great times I had with you and tommy! It was so nice that you were always interested in how I was doing and how my kids are doing, whenever I bumped into you! I always have fond memories of you and will miss you!
It is hard to find words to express the sadness to hear the news of Jaime’s passing. She is one in a million, and we will all miss the warmth, energy, caring and passion that she brought every day, to all those around her. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jaime the past 18 years, and will miss her terribly. We could always count on her wit and sense of humor, perspective and honesty in any situation. I wish to her family and friends, the ability to find peace in the many fond and happy memories. Thoughts and prayers especially to her family, Tommy, Samantha and Thomas. May she rest In peace.
Our hearts are broken here in the Princeton Wegmans. . So So many great memories of Jamie .Jamie truly cared for all the employees and lived our Values everyday . Will miss her great stories of Samantha and Thomas I hope they will always know how much she loved them .and what a proud Mama she was .
I still can’t believe this is real. I saw Jaime on Thursday and by Monday I received a call that she was gone. I knew Jaime for a long time; she was my boss, mentor, colleague and friend. The sadness that I feel knowing she is gone is unexplainable. I can’t stop thinking about her kids and family and what they’re going through and feeling right now. My condolences go to her loved ones. I’ll miss you, Jaime!
So heartbreaking , my prayers are with you all as you find a way to navigate through the heartache. We had so much fun the many many years on the field , her and I had a special connection on and off the field , but we were a duel to not get in a pickle with that’s for sure . The Shenanigans we got our selfs into make me laugh , smile and go omg we really did that . Forever will be loved and missed
After hearing the news of your sudden transition. I was in total shock and disbelief. With your cheerful charisma and caring attitude with a sense of urgency, I will treasure our time collaborating. To my former direct supervisor and colleague, Jamie you will be forever missed at your home store located in Princeton Wegmans. I appreciate our time and you were one of the first to hire me for a leadership/management position and for that, I thank you for believing and encouraging me. To her family and friends, my condolences are with you during this difficult time. The loss of Jamie is felt by many she worked with. May the memories of her wonderful personality and many contributions be celebrated by all. Farewell Jamie.
