December 20, 2021 at 8:25 pmJackie was my cousin and friend. She was my partner in crime when we were young. I loved her laugh and her easy going personality. Her and Larry surprised us one time at our home it was great catching up. I loved their Christmas card every year even though we didn’t see each other for years! The best story I have was I went down state one time stayed at this hotel. We were checking out and I heard this laugh, I said to my friend I know that laugh that is my cousins laugh so I started following it sure enough it was Jackie! Even though she was working she sat down and we had a nice visit to catch up it was like I saw here a week ago. She always held a special place in my heart. My prayers go out to the family and glad you will have all the special memories to give you comfort because I am sure you have a lot of them. Karen Cronk Morris

December 21, 2021 at 4:31 amI was married to Jackie’s eldest brother David in 1967 for 20 years. I regret not keeping in touch with Jackie. I will miss her for the family and a little piece of my heart is gone also.
I do remember how sweet and kind she was and her smile was infectious & happy she was with Larry. And when the boys arrived – what a great mom she was! I bet she was a fantastic grandma!
Rest In Peace Jackie – say Hi to David for me!

You and Larry are inseparable.
May you hold a place in Heaven for my cousin, Larry, as he keeps your place on earth with loving memories.
You made our family better simply by your presence.

December 21, 2021 at 11:09 amAlthough we’ve only known Jackie for the last 5 years or so, it’s been a true blessing.
Jackie had a smile on her face every single time I saw her and she was the kindest, most easy going and pleasant person to be around.
You will be greatly missed, Miss Jackie!
Love, Mary and Jeff (Nora and Gracie too)

December 21, 2021 at 2:14 pmI was so sad when I heard this news. Jackie was a very special gal who will always hold a special place in my heart. Her husband, children and grandchildren were all the loves of her life and I must say a number one Spartan fan. I love you Jack and I’m sure going to miss you! Prayers of comfort for the family.

December 21, 2021 at 2:56 pmJackie was a great friend and confidant. So many great times spent with her laughing and crying. She was always a Lady, but would let you know if you screwed up. She knew what was right, and wrong, and never crossed that line.
She was and is a beautiful light. Will miss her until I see her again.

I was saddened to read of the passing of Jackie, please extend our most sincere condolences to the immediate and extended families. As we both know and share, behind every professional manager, the solid base of support, understanding, tolerance and loyalty determined our success and career. She certainly fit the bill, and will be missed.
