Surrounded by her family, longtime Orland resident Faye Jaquith died on Friday, August 2, 2024. She was born in Anadarko, Okla., to Jack and Jessie Reese on June 12, 1943.
Her family moved to California when she was three years old. She attended Ord Bend Elementary School and graduated from Hamilton High School in 1961.
On April 5, 1963, she married the love of her life, Glenn Jaquith. During 59 years of marriage, she had two daughters, three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
She loved her family. They were the most important thing in her life.
She had many hobbies over the years. She loved to sew, crochet, read, and spend time in her yard, where she grew the most beautiful flowers.
She also enjoyed driving around the countryside, taking photographs. Many of her photos were published in The Sacramento Valley Mirror newspaper.
However, her most loved hobby was spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She is survived by her children Jackie (Steve) Paillon and Terri Finch of Orland; grandsons Michael and Kevin Paillon of Orland; granddaughter Brittney Finch of Lincoln, Calif.; and great-grandchildren Leah and Ashton Paillon of Orland. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Glenn Jaquith, brother Bill Reese, and sister Wanda Jones.
