Glynafay (Davis) Teasley of Fortuna passed away Saturday, February 22, 2025, at Redwood Memorial Hospital at 10:33 pm at the age of 85 years old. She was born on April 4, 1939 in Elsie’s McDonalds Home in Okanogan, Washington to Frank and Pauline Davis. She is one of twelve children.

Her older siblings who went before her were John, Charles, Mary Frances, Ruthie, and Marylee. Her living siblings are Melvin, William, Shirley, Ronald “Ronnie”, Thelma, and Fenton.

Glynafay grew up in the state of Washington.

She went to school clear up to 9th grade.

During the summer, Glynafay spent time picking apples and she also spent time painting store front windows.

She got married at fifteen to Gordan Leroy Weight. They had four children: Martin “Marty,” Glynamarie “Glyna,” Connan Leann and Deborah “Debbie.” They were married for six years before they got a divorce.

She got married to Hubert Harold Teasley on 24 Jun 1961 in Reno, Nevada. They had five children: Brenda Gail, Rocky Harold, Parnellie, Rodney Wayne, and Holly Ann. They were married for 38 years until Hubert’s death.

Two years later Glynafay got married to Justo Maldonado. They were married for six years when he passed away from Alzheimers.

She then married Robert “Bob” until his death from Alzheimer.

Glynafay worked for Saint Luke Manor for 20 years until she had a heart attack at the age of 60.

She loved roses and as a kid I remember the back yard being surrounded with roses. She had a collection of angels, cookie jars, salt and pepper shakers, and Disney character dolls.

She had an old red King James Bible that she read all of the time of where it was literally falling apart from her reading it and marking passages of verses.

She could draw a picture of anything and taught us kids how, but only a few of us had the talent to draw.

She taught all of us girls how to cook, bake, clean, sew, embroidery, etc.

She did not believe in saying you could not do something. She pushed us to accomplish our goals. Whenever I told her I did not want to something, she would tell me suck it up buttercup and do it. I was pushed along with others to do what we felt was impossible. One funny story was when my mom decided to have a sit-down strike from cleaning and cooking to let the family know how much she needed our help. We were asking our dad what was wrong with mom, because she never sat down. She leaves behind her children & their spouses: Martin & Elanore Weight, Redding; Glynamarie of Reno, Nevada; Connan & Bob of Fortuna; Deborah & Gerry Valdovinos of Galt, California; Brenda & Ronald Mason of Elk Grove, California; Rocky & Sherry Teasley of Maine; Parnellie & Manuel Meras of Fortuna; Holly & Christian of Fortuna; and numerous grandchildren, great- and great-great-grandchildren.
