On December 16, 2021, our beloved Jacqueline passed away unexpectedly at the age of 89 years young. The Good Lord started her journey home while she was enjoying the company of her dear friends. She was surrounded by family until the end.

Two grandchildren Heather Farley (Julio) Oklahoma City OK, Matthew (Julia) Farley and one Great grandson Leo- Milwaukee, Sister-In-Law Mary Okonski, special cousins and nephews.

Jackie very much enjoyed cheering for Wisconsin sports and time spent with friends from the YMCA and the Algoma Wellness Center. She deeply loved her family and cherished her close friends. Her positive presence in the community will be sorely missed.
Family and friends will gather at St Mary Catholic Church, Algoma, Tuesday December 28 from 9:00 AM until the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM with Rev. Alvan Amadi officiating. Burial will take place at a later date at St Mary Catholic Cemetery.
