Jayme was born on June 6, 1976, in Browning to Ervin Carlson and Dona Crawford.  She was raised in Browning, graduating from Browning High School in 1994.  While there, she met Alex Belgarde, and the couple moved to Havre to begin their lives together.  They married in 2006, and over the years they lived in Havre, Laredo, and Box Elder.  Jayme and Alex had eight children, who they raised together.  For most of her adult life, Jayme was a homemaker, but she also worked for the Rocky Boy Health Center as a CNA for some time.
