Sally L. Pacheco

May 20, 2015

Sally Lou Hallquist Pacheco entered Heaven at 9 PM on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 with her loving family closely by her side. A lifelong resident, she was born in Jamestown to Carl and Selma Nelson Hallquist, being the 15th of 16th child. Sally attended and graduated from the Jamestown Public Schools. She furthered her education in the health care field. She was baptized and proudly confirmed at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. Sally was fondly known to all as “Aunt Sally, Blondie, Miss Hollywood and Big Sal.” Her kind and gracious heart always had room for everyone equally. She gave an over – abundance of love, laughter, wisdom, generosity, wit and a listening ear to whomever was in her presence. Along with raising six children and working, she enthusiastically “did for others” without hesitation; always putting everyone else’s needs far ahead of her very own. She was talented, beautiful, gracious, humble. She always displayed her unending love of family, nature, animals and of the Lord. She was previously employed as a health care provider for the Jamestown Home for Adults and also the Accredited Care, where she had earned certificates of achievement and acknowledgement. She was also a private nanny for several years while a resident in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada. Sally is survived by six children, Steven (Debra) Pacheco and Suzanne Pacheco (Charles Cappano Jr.) of Jamestown, Sonya Pacheco, Sharene Pacheco, Scott Pacheco and Shelly Pacheco- Johannessen (Ole Bjoern), one granddaughter, Amy Werner (Jason) Schaeffer and one great grandson, Christian Miller all of Henderson, Nevada, one sister, Mary Ann Cygan of Collins and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Domingo Pacheco; ten sisters, Norma Rivera, Donna Horan, Pauline Hitchcock, Isabel Blixt, Marilyn Hallquist, Phyllis Dupler, Doris Carlson, Lois Horan, Dorothy Swanson and Betty Palen and four brothers, Allen, Roger, Merle and Robert Hallquist. At Sally’s request, a private memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Powers, Present & Sixbey Funeral Home, Inc., 316 East Fifth Street, Jamestown, N.Y.
