With hearts full of gratitude, love, and peace, we celebrate the beautiful life of Jackie—our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and faithful friend—who went home to be with Jesus at the age of 76. She is now fully healed, fully whole, and finally at rest in the presence of her Savior.
Jackie lived a life rooted in quiet strength, deep faith, and love that knew no limits. More than anything else, her heart belonged to her family. Her daughter, Carol, was her world—her pride and joy—and the bond they shared was unbreakable. She absolutely adored her grandsons, Hunter and Ryker. Her love for them was fierce, tender, and filled with joy. She lit up when she talked about them, and she never missed a chance to tell others just how proud she was. When her great-grandchildren came along, Jackie’s heart somehow grew even bigger. Keagan’s sweet prayers over her touched her deeply, and she loved hearing Alorann’s giggles and seeing that spark of mischief in her eyes. Her family was everything to her, and every moment with them was a treasure.
Jackie had a quiet gift that touched everyone she knew—she was an incredible listener. Whether you were family, a friend, or someone who just needed to talk, she had a way of making you feel truly heard and seen. She didn’t rush people. She didn’t judge. She just listened with her whole heart, and somehow, that made the hard things feel lighter. Her wisdom, patience, and steady love made her a safe place for so many.
Her faith was the foundation of her life. Her Bible was never far from reach, and her prayers wrapped around her family like a warm blanket. She believed deeply in the promises of God and lived them out with grace, humility, and quiet confidence. Her home was a refuge, her hugs full of comfort, and her presence a blessing to all who knew her.
Though we’ll miss her terribly, we’re filled with peace knowing she’s now fully whole, reunited with loved ones, and hearing the words she longed for her whole life: “Well done, good and faithful servant…enter into the joy of your Lord.” – Matthew 25:23
Until we meet again, we’ll carry her memory in every laugh that reminds us of her joy, in every prayer that echoes her faith, and in every story that keeps her love alive.
Funeral services will be held to honor her life, her legacy, and the beautiful way she loved us all at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 23, 2025 at Flora Funeral Chapel. Interment will follow in Franklin Memorial Park. Her family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.
“To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” — 2 Corinthians 5:8
