Jacqueline lived a life rich in love, service, and adventure. A true lover of travel, she spent her years exploring the world on cruises, road trips and by plane.

Her deep sense of compassion and generosity made her a beloved figure in every community she touched. As a lifeguard, Jackie had an innate love for swimming and the water, often found at the beach or poolside, where she not only excelled at her craft but also took great pride in helping others learn to swim and stay safe in the water. Her dedication to others was unwavering, and she would fight for those in need, whether in the water or in everyday life. Her retirement years were filled with comfort, love, and happiness. She found peace in the company of her loved ones near and far, always welcoming them with open arms, whether for a quiet chat or a fun adventure. Family was her greatest joy, and she never missed an opportunity to show up for the people who meant the most to her. Jackie leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and love. She will be deeply missed but will always be remembered for her adventurous spirit, selflessness, and the unwavering love she gave to all who knew her. We take comfort in knowing that she is now in a place where her heart will continue to travel, be with her departed sister Michelle Howell-Morgan and inspiring others as she always did. Rest in peace, Jackie. You will be forever in our hearts
