Jacqueline Jo Grenier Singletary, passed away on August 27, 2020 in Tallahassee, Florida. She was born on October 24, 1935 to the late Harold Levi Grenier and Ruth Elizabeth Moe Grenier Border in Missoula, Montana on an Indian reservation. Jackie met the love of her life, Clarence "Chuck" Walter Singletary, Jr., while volunteering at the USO in Vallejo California and they were married on June 30, 1956. After losing her father when she was 4 years old, Chuck promised to always protect her, take care of her and provide for her. After Chuck got out of the Navy and finished his education, they settled in Ormond Beach where they raised their family. Jackie volunteered with Meals on Wheels, as a Braille Transcriber and at the Ormond Beach Library. They later asked her to come to work at the Library, which she did until retirement, and then went back to being a volunteer. Eight years after her husband passed away unexpectedly, she moved to Tallahassee to be closer to her daughter.
Jackie was a member of MENSA and Oceanside Country Club where she spent many years playing tennis with great friends. She also had a treasured group of friends in her regular Tuesday Bridge group. She was preceded in death by her parents and husband.
