Obituary of Mary Angela Jaquith

Mary Angela Jaquith, age 13, a lifetime resident of Nokomis, died on March 18, 2007. Mary held a D3 Pony Club Ranking with the Sea Fox Pony Club for show jumping and dressage. She competed in 3-4 rallies a year, traveling around the state of Florida. Occasionally, she would jump blindfolded with no hands just for practice. Mary loved all animals, and she exhibited a gifted touch with them. She had animals of her own; her horse Lucky Star, and two cats, Jessie and Baby. Mary also had musical talent, singing soprano at St. Martha’s Catholic Church and playing the piano. She was a voracious reader, and she always had a book in her hand. Mary loved her brothers and sisters, and she wanted to grow up to be a vet and a mommy. Surviving family members include her parents, Dr. Michael and Debra Jaquith of Nokomis; brothers Mark, David, Stephen, John Paul, and Thomas; sisters Alicia Dalton and Andrea Gwaltney; maternal grandmother Lois Nellis; paternal grandmother Joyce Jaquith; 6 nieces and 1 nephew.
