Jacquie was a long time resident of Portland where she lived happily in the Cully neighborhood for over 40 years with the love of her life, and only child. Family was the heart of her existence. She was a loving, caring, compassionate soul that would do anything for anyone and expect nothing in return. She was employed with Albertsons for over 20 years, and was best known as the flower lady. Jacquie loved all flowers, and made the best arrangements in town. She enjoyed camping, fishing(not eating them just reeling them in), gardening and spending time with her grandchildren. She will be greatly missed, and her love for life will continue to shine through family and friends.
