Jacquelyn CHISMAN Obituary

Jacquelyn attended the York county Public School System, where she graduated from York High School. She studied nursing at the OHA School of Practical Nursing and became a Licensed Practical Nurse. She spent the latter part of her career at Maxim Health Care as a LPN.
Jacquelyn was always a very gentle, loving and compassionate person, with a heart of gold. When she was not helping others, Jackie enjoyed music and was excited about being a grandmother. At the age of 25 she accepted Christ as her personal Savior and joined Grafton Baptist Church – Harris Grove.
She leaves to cherish her precious memories her two daughters, Tameika Chisman and Patrice Chisman of Newport News, Va.; one sister, Vivian Chisman of Yorktown, Va.; three brothers, Stafford Chisman of Norfolk, Va., Richard Chisman (Joyce) of Seaford, Va., Clarence Chisman of Newport News, Va.; one aunt, Ethel Borum of Newport News, Va.; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A viewing of the body will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, 2009, at Nicholson-Cummings Funeral Home of Hampton, Va.

Miss Jackie was a wonderful person, and she will be missed. We had the pleasure of working with her here at Kiln Creek Elementary School last year while she was the private duty nurse for one of our students

You can be certain that I am praying a prayer of comfort for the Chisman Family; earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal. The short time that I have known Jackie was all too short, but it was long enough to know that she was a compassionate and caring person. She named me "Plesant" but the name describes just who she really was -- pleasant and friendly. Rest in peace Jackie until we meet again.

Many condolences to all. Eddie and I have only known Jackie for a relatively short time but it has been a joy knowing her. It was a such a pleasure being her cab driver that we soon became friends. She will be missed.
