Obituary of Jill Ann Wyatt

Jill Ann Wyatt Vancouver, Washington July 25, 1977 ~ March 26, 2020 Jill Ann (Paige) Wyatt passed away unexpectedly March 26. She was 42. Jill was born July 25, 1977, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. During her childhood and teenage years she lived in St. Louis, MO., and Gresham, Hood River and Rockaway Beach, OR., making friends and memories along the way. She attended Hood River High School. She met the love of her life, Terry Wyatt, in 1997. Their love and special bond were apparent to all who knew them. They were married Sept. 30, 2001, in West Linn, Ore. Following a honeymoon in Mexico, they bought a home and settled in Vancouver. Their family became complete when their sons were born - Ethan in 2004 and Gavin in 2006. Jill was a devoted mom, volunteering at their schools, supporting them in their academics, sports, music and other activities, and looked forward to hearing their "three favorite things" about their day over dinner. Family was everything to Jill. As the oldest of six children, her siblings looked to her for advice, guidance and support. She cherished her role as an aunt and doted on her nieces and nephews and her "Aunt Jilly" kisses were abundant and cherished. She loved family gatherings, especially Christmas and birthdays, and was the unofficial "official family photographer." Jill loved family outings and spring break and summer vacations to the Oregon Coast, trips to the Clark County Fair, visits to the pumpkin patch, and a multi-family camping trip around the Fourth of July became annual traditions. She was our Wonder Woman, and had the socks and shirts to prove it, as she provided strength and warmth as she balanced work and family. Jill worked as a shipping specialist for Paccess and later for Paper Products Marketing. Survivors include her husband, Terry; sons, Ethan and Gavin; mother, Becky Paige; father, Phil Romans; grandfather Fred Paige; brothers, Jeff Paige, Jonathan Paige and Cole Cooper; sisters Samantha and Lindsey Paige; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. A memorial will be held at a later date when family and friends can gather to mourn our loss and celebrate her life, her love and her legacy. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her memory to a favorite charity.
