Jacque's Obituary

Glaeser, Jacque Lynn (nee McKay), baptized into the hope of Christ's resurrection on Sunday, March 29, 2026.

Beloved mother of Bradley (Amy) Hale, Gregory (Kellie Sutton) Hale and the late Michael "Mickey" Hale; loving grandmother of Heather, Lauren, Austin, Adam and Gavin Hale; great-grandmother of Charlie and Hannah Grossman; sister of James "Jude" (Clare) McKay; Cherished companion of her dog Sandy; Dear cousin and friend of many.  

​A Legacy of Service​Jacque dedicated 25 years of her life to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), where her career was defined by integrity and leadership. She retired as an Assistant Special Agent in Charge, having earned the deep respect of her colleagues and leaving a lasting impact on the agency’s mission.

​A Heart for the Community​Her commitment to service extended far beyond her professional life. Jacque was a tireless volunteer, giving her time and energy to causes that touched the lives of many. She was a familiar face at the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, an active supporter of Rockwood South Middle School, and a compassionate presence within the Bereaved Parents Association, where she offered strength and guidance to those navigating their hardest moments.

​Joy and Connection​Jacque found joy in the simple and the active. She could often be found at water aerobics, enjoying the movement and the company, or spending time with her beloved singles group. She was known for her "strong-spirited" nature-a woman whose life was built on the pillars of faith, family and friends.

​While her professional achievements were many, Jacque’s greatest pride was the circle of people she loved. She leaves behind a legacy of resilience, deep-rooted friendships, and a family that was the center of her world.​Services: Funeral service at the SCHRADER Funeral Home and Crematory, 14960 Manchester Road at Holloway, Ballwin, Friday, April 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Interment Holy Cross Cemetery.
