She is fondly remembered for hosting holiday events at her LaGrange Park home and summer dinners at the cottage. Jacquie enjoyed watercolors, books, Arizona, sweatshirts, Michigan blueberries, and a perpetual tan. She will be missed by her family and friends, including friends at Sunrise Assisted Living in Willowbrook, IL. Heartfelt thanks to the caregivers and medical staff who supported Jacquie over the last few years.
