January 27th, 1960 - April 21st, 2020

Rebecca Anne Fayette passed away on April 21, 2020 at her home in Hartford, Connecticut. She was born in Buffalo, New York, on January 27, 1960. Rebecca was pre-deceased by her lifelong friend Daniel Martin of Suffield, Connecticut, and her mother, Jadwiga Swist Fayette of Buffalo, and co-deceased with her father, Laurence Fayette also of Hartford. Rebecca leaves a younger sister, Therese Dillon and her husband Eugene Dillon of Milford, Connecticut, and a younger sister Dawn Fayette of Plainfield, Connecticut, a niece Stephanie Dillon of Beverly, Massachusetts, and a nephew, Garrett Dillon of New Haven, Connecticut. Rebecca was a quiet and sweet spirit and will be sorely missed by her family. She loved children and animals, was an avid reader, and loved her niece and nephew. She knew a good deal about American antiques and architecture and enjoyed the historic aspects of the city of Hartford. A graduate of Hartford Public High School, Rebecca attended Greater Hartford Community College where she studied accounting. She worked as a clerk typist for the Aetna Life & Casualty Company in the early 1980s, moving on to a similar position with the State of Connecticut, then working for the Treasury Department as a Senior Payroll Clerk until 1989. Rebecca owned and managed several rental properties in Hartford through the 1990s. In recent years she was a caretaker for her father. Rebecca will be interred privately as soon as social distancing will allow. In lieu of flowers or other gestures, please support mental health awareness initiatives in your community.

I will always remember the times I spent with Rebecca going to thrift stores and auctions hunting for antiques! She was the one who got me interested in those things as a young adult, and they are some fond memories. My first child, Stephanie, was absolutely doted on by Auntie 'Becca who did everything she could to spoil her. She had a real soft spot for children and was always delighted by them. Rebecca had a kind of fearlessness living in inner Hartford. She was well-liked by her neighbors and extraordinarily diplomatic in her interactions. She was kind to everyone she met. Once many years ago I was striking out trying to rent my second floor apartment. Rebecca vowed to find me a tenant by the end of the day, and that is just what she did - she went outside and saw a couple leaving the house across the street after viewing a vacant apartment there, and she shouted to them "Hey are you looking for apartments? We've got a nice one right over here!" And that couple came, saw, and signed the lease on the spot and they were the best tenants we ever had. Fearless Rebecca. Rebecca had a gentleman friend, Danny Martin, for her entire adult life until he passed away in 2015. When I think of Rebecca I often see the two of them together, taking trips, going out to eat, and sharing Thanksgiving or Christmas with us, and laughing. I will miss my sister, and I rejoice that she can rest easy now with God our Father. Therese Dillon
