Jena R. Mills passed away peacefully after a battle with cancer on Jan. 20, 2018, at her home in Buffalo, Wyo. Jena was born April 2, 1964, in Spokane, Wash. to Richard and Carol Jacquot. She grew up on the family farm in Hayden, Idaho, the oldest of four siblings. She graduated from private Christian school in Hayden in 1982.
