Obituary - Jacqueline Faye Maxine Love
Jacquie was the middle child of 13 brothers and sisters. Their family was very close; her sisters were her best friends all through her life. Jacquie had an infectious laugh and was loved to be around people and loved to dance. But most of all she loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
In 2017 Jacquie moved to Missouri to live with her daughter and quickly became a snapchat sensation in videos made with her granddaughter Amy. She made many friends while in Missouri. She attended the races to watch her grandson race and attended the high school football games. Jacquie quickly became an avid Kansas City Chiefs fan, she loved her Mahomie, and stayed loyal to her favorite college team, Notre Dame. She enjoyed her monthly domino games with her granddaughter Shannon and watched great grandsons swim meets on you tube.
Preceding Jacquie in death was her son, Mark, her son-in-law, Chris, and her brothers, Billy, George, and Gene. Waiting for her at her place at the heavenly table were her sisters, Iris, Elnora, Vernie, Betty, Mary, Zelda and Marcie.
