Jadah Willmett Obituary
Jadah was born July 14, 2000, in Denver, Colorado. She grew up in Durango and attended Durango Schools. She was active in the choir and played the guitar.
Jadah was a servant at heart as she always worked in different service related jobs.
She touched so many lives as her kind demeanor always comforted the patrons at her work places. She always put others needs before her own. Her friends grew in number by every encounter. Jadah's impacting ability to make friends caused many of her acquaintances to seek her out in the future; time and distance didn't keep her from her love of others.
In addition to a strong work ethic and love of her work, she loved quirky and goofy television programs, and super-hero movies.
She is survived by her parents: Ed and Sonya Willmett; siblings: Crystal Willmett, and Michael (Krysta) Abeyta-Griego; grandparents: Don and Sheila Willmett and Maryann Abeyta; and nephew, Maverick Abeyta as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and a multitude of wonderful friends.
She is preceded by her grandmothers: Diane Shaw and Linda Willmett.
Services are as follows: A candlelight vigil was held on Wednesday, August 4, 2021 at 8:30 p.m. at Eagle Park in Bayfield; A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, August 7, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. at The River Church in Durango, and a memorial gathering will be held at Rotary Park on Saturday August 7, 2021 that evening.

I did not know Jadah. My buddies and i were out for a ride this past Sunday and stopped for fuel. And noticed the Memorial. A kind young lady came over. I believe her name was Fiona and shared what had happened. Unbelievable. So sorry for your loss. God Bless and stay strong.

Our lives were so very blessed to have Jadah in them. We offer our deepest condolences, the world was so bright with her in it. I will miss the pictures her and Serenity sent me and the "Hi mom" she gave me everytime I was on the phone with Serenity.
