Jackie was practically a sister to me growing up. She was a remarkable person who was always able to make friends wherever she went. She, Johnny and I as Johnny told me shared such precious memories that we shared with no one else. She loved Jesus and is with Him now. Rest well sweet cousin. We will see you again. Peace and comfort to Hunter, Johnny and all the grandkids.
Fond memories of times with Harold and Jackie many years ago. Hunter, I remember the days you would hang with me at the South Texas State Fair. Prayers
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Cousin Jackie. All the family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am extremely sad to hear about my friend Jackie. Jackie and I became friends at Wesley Methodist Church, BMT. We sat together during church and served on several committees. Such a sweet lady, always had a smile. Prayers for all and keep her memories near your heart. God Bless
She was such a beautiful soul . May she rest in peace.
Just saw her 2 weeks ago with Johnny. She was a beautiful woman inside & out. Had the best hugs then. Will miss you Jackie.
I am extremely sad to hear of Jackie’s passing. She is one of the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful, loving and giving ladies I have ever known. She always had a smile on her face and made me feel like I was important to her. Whenever I was around her, she treated everyone she talked to with love and respect. It didn’t matter to her if that person was young or old, black or white, rich or poor; she treated them all the same. God definitely took a great lady home to be with Him.
my condolences – forever in our hearts and minds
I was very upset to learn of Jackie’s passing. One of the best phrases to describe her is: To know her was to love her!! She truly lit up a room when she entered it, and before she left, everybody in the room loved her. She was such a positive person with a great attitude, and was so happy and pleasant most all the time. She was a big influence in my life as well as many others. I’ve known her all my life and she was a precious friend that I will never forget! My sincere condolences go out to her son, her precious brother, Johnny, and the rest of her family. May she rest in eternal peace. Love you my friend!
I will forever miss you and that pretty smile. You made my day so many times. Prayers to Hunter and his immediate family. Without her I would have never had the pleasure to work side by side with you
So sorry to hear of Jackie’s passing. I worked with her in the early 1970’s. She was a precious person. Praying for you all 🙏
So sorry to learn of the passing of Cousin Jackie. Condolences and prayers for Hunter, family, and friends. Jacqueline, her brother Johnny, my brother Sammy, and I practically grew up together as neighbors.
