Keep faith by fighting, breathing, living and loving! Always Keep Faith!!
Writing about my beloved daughter who passed away at age 15 is both a heart-wrenching and a beautiful task. Born in Silverton, Oregon, she moved to California when she was just one and a half years old. As my firstborn, she was a quiet, content child who cherished every moment with me. Her academic strengths were evident from the moment she entered kindergarten, and she was always a joy to take anywhere, from restaurants to family gatherings.
When she was five and a half, she welcomed her little sister with open arms, and their bond was immediate and strong. She loved matching outfits with her sister and was always there to teach her new skills, from riding a bike to perfecting cheer moves and tumbling. Her hobbies included painting, makeup, hair styling, and exploring beaches. She dreamt of becoming a nurse and later considered attending beauty school.
She began her cheerleading journey at age four as a mascot and continued with sideline cheer for Saint Mary's Jr. Rams and Lodi Titans. At ten, she transitioned to all-star cheer, dedicating five years to Platinum Allstars and University Cheer Force. In middle school, she ventured into volleyball and basketball, excelling as an offensive player despite her gentle nature. Dance classes, including hip hop, lyrical, and ballet, were another passion she pursued. She attended Reece Elementary, Lodi Christian Middle School, and Lodi High School
Her relationships with her family were incredibly close, especially with her Gamama, Aunt Bella, and cousin Ariana. Her bond with me (the mommy) was more than just mother and daughter; we were best friends, sharing a love for Marvel movies, sunbathing, crafting, and attending events together. Her dad enjoyed making her laugh and cooking together including sushi which was one of her favorite foods! She had a natural ability to make friends wherever she went.
High school was challenging due to COVID-19, which led to feelings of isolation and loneliness. Her middle name, Faith, now inspires us to spread the message of "Always Keep Faith," reminding everyone to never lose hope in themselves and the world around them. Her legacy will live on through her sister Haylee "Monster," new baby sister Brixlee, her mommy and daddy, and all who loved her. Though our hearts will never be whole again, we find comfort knowing she is in heaven, embraced by her Gamama, great-grandma Alligator, great-grandpa Glen, grand-daddy, uncle Zach, grandma Pat, and, most of all, our Lord. Her memory and message will be cherished forever.

Happy birthday Faith, what I wouldn’t give to be able to say that to your physical presence. You will always be one of the Chatfield Family’s favorite people for so many reasons. I look at your photo daily so that I can see your beautiful smile. I’m sure people think I’m crazy because I talk back to every owl I hear whooting, pretending I’m talking to you. You are so missed by so many. Love you forever and always.
We miss you 🤍🫶🏼🪽
Oh our sweet Tay! You are so deeply missed. Your voice is missed. Man I miss you singing in my car to every song. You knew EVERY song, it always amazed me. I would send your mama videos of you singing thru out the day and always say how does she know this song?! Your hugs are missed. Man those sure were good hugs. Your eye rolling and bluntness is missed haha, you always told me exactly how it is and I loved that so much about you, you never put up with anything. I loved how you always wanted to take naps. Sleep was your jam and nobody could mess with it. I miss you walking thru my door and just you feeling at home. I miss you eating all my snacks in my pantry. I would tell you and your sister stop asking me just eat what you want that’s what it’s their for, and you listened haha 🤣 but my home was your home when you were here. I miss your voice calling for “your baby” (Ellie) she misses her Tay Tay so much. I miss Walking by becca room and seeing you doing her hair and makeup. Your talent for hair and makeup was amazing!
