Jacqueline "Jackie" Lee Bourquin, age 89, passed away on February 14, 2026. She is now reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband, Odie; her daughters, Traci and Pati; her son, Kenny; and all of her cherished pugs.
Jackie is lovingly remembered by her daughter Lori (Jim), her son James, her brother Allan (Connie), her nine grandchildren, and fourteen great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense pride and joy.
Jackie lived a life centered on family, humor, and simple wisdom. She will always be remembered for her favorite sayings, "for goodness sakes" and "it is what it is," which perfectly captured her spirited and practical outlook on life.
Jackie worked as a bus driver for the North Clackamas School District and later enjoyed driving for the Milwaukie Senior Center. She especially loved bringing her grandchildren along for the ride, creating lasting memories along the way.
On December 23, 1954, Jackie married the love of her life, Odie. Together, they built a life full of laughter and adventure. Fondly known as the "Bickersons," their playful banter reflected the deep love and devotion they shared. They enjoyed many road trips together, especially to the Oregon coast, where countless treasured memories were made.
A memorial service will be held on May 1, 2026, at 10:20 a.m. at Willamette National Cemetery, where Jackie will be laid to rest alongside her husband and her son Kenny.
A celebration of Jackie's life will follow on May 2, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Rivercrest Park in Oregon City. Family and friends are invited to gather, share memories, and honor her life.
Jackie's legacy of love, resilience, humor, and devotion to family will live on in all who knew her.
