Jackie was one of nine children and is survived by one sister, Madelyne Soffee Humpert (Paul). Family was the center of Jackie's life as was her church, St. Anthony's Maronite Catholic Church. From 1984 to 1994, Jackie was co-proprietor of Paul's Place on Grove Avenue. She has several published recipes. The Shibley family would like to thank the hospice workers from Care Alternatives, neighbors of Westover Hills and the parishioners of St. Anthony's for their support and prayers. A Mass of the Resurrection will be held on Friday, September 11, 2009 at 11 a.m. at St. Anthony's Maronite Catholic Church followed by interment at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Anthony's Maronite Catholic Church.

To Ed, Jr., and the Shibley family:

I offer my sympathy for your loss.

September 11, 2009

I was very saddened to hear about Jackie. I worked for a few years with Eddie,Jackie and Paul at "Paul's Place." Never will I forget the wonderful cakes Jackie fixed and the laugh I got when she shared her baking secret with me. She was an amazing woman with a huge heart. I know all of you are really going to miss her.
You're all in my prayers. Lisa Daner

Eddie & Family: I was so sorry to read your Mother's death notice in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. I don't think I have seen much of you since you left The Hermitage Pharmacy and the Brook Road Kroger Grocery Store. I am sending Dr. & Mrs. Stanley Greenbaum, in Williamsburg, the clipping from today's newpaper. I know Sally & Stanley would be interested to know. My intentions are good, and I hope to get by to see you at The Imperial Plaza Pharmacy when I get a chance. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
