Jacqueline Paisley Obituary
54, of Scottsdale passed away on March 17th, 2017. Jackie will be survived by her brother Bruce Paisley, sister-in-law - Ann Paisley (Bruce's wife) and her 12-year-old son, Neo Rodrigue, and several nieces and nephews. Also, remembered by thousands of fans, friends and colleagues around the world! Jackie was a very eclectic, artistic, and driven woman. Jackie's drive allowed her to perform on many different stages throughout her life; ballet, concert cellist (graduated from Carnegie Mellon), and professional body builder to name a few! As a world class bodybuilder in the late 80's and early 90's, she pioneered a new style of artistic expression on the stage and carried herself with grace and gratitude on and off the stage! Following her professional career as a body builder, she discovered her passion in life was helping others achieve their physical goals and promoted well-being via sound nutrition (Masters Degree from ASU), supplementation, and exercise. Jackie's drive and intention to excel in all walks of life also fueled her walk with Jesus. Her tireless pursuit for answers to difficult question, and her scrupulous nature, facilitated a very deep understanding and love for the Lord. This quality of Love was a condition that permeated her every interaction, and was part of her being through and through. Jackie's quest for health over the last several years undoubtedly brought her closer to the All Mighty and provided her comfort, and strengthened her resolve to heal herself with the trust and belief that the Lord was with her, always! May Jackie's soul rest with her Father, and her life be remembered as a beautiful piece of music that will endure the test of time and remain in our hearts as a blessing and honor to have known such a wonderful human being! Service and Reception held Saturday April 8th, 10:00 am at Scottsdale Bible Church (Grace Chapel), 7601 E. Shea Blvd., Scottsdale, 85260, 480-824-7200. If it is placed on your heart to donate, please make a contribution to Neo's trust for continuing care. No flowers please. God bless.

This is still so heartbreaking. She was one of the most awesome people on this earth that anyone could have the opportunity to become acquainted with. I love you and Rest In Heaven angel.

I was lucky to know Jackie for almost 18 years. She was always simply delightful to speak with and spoke well of others- while never bringing up her own remarkable talents and abilities. That's how she was- humble and yet helpful to others. She never quite realized how much of an inspiration she was to others . Her knowledge of nutrition and exercise helped so many of my friends and family. When I spoke to her last year November she even predicted Trump's victory- can you beleive that. She really was a smart cookie. She will be missed- bless her heart.

Dear, sweet Jackie--always the one who could make you laugh. So intelligent, a gifted artist and musician. I knew Jackie since Kindergarten in our hometown of Altoona, Pennsylvania and will always remember her fondly. Heaven has gained a loving, dear soul. Blessings to her remaining family members.

I was very saddened to hear about the passing of Jackie. She was an amazing human being with incredible dicipline. Although I no longer live in Scottsdale, I often mention Jackie when referring to one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. You inspired many and will be missed.

To the Paisley Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
