MICHAEL, JACQUELINE (ADLER) Jacqueline (Adler) Michael, 83, died surrounded by her family on December 20th, 2016. Beloved wife of Jack Michael (predeceased). Cherished mother of daughters Lisa and Sally and sons-in-law Mark and Eric. Devoted grandmother to Elia, Meira and Asher, Elana, Shira, Ezra, and Eitan and great-grandmother to Hadar. Loving sister to brothers Len and Lee and sister Eleanor (predeceased). Adored by numerous family and friends. Raised in the small town of Moodus, CT, at eighteen Jacqueline set out to make her way in the big city of Hartford. Ability and hard work culminated in her becoming personal secretary to governor Ribicoff, a high-level position for women of that time. Love and marriage brought her to Haddam when she married her beloved husband Jack Michael. Together they built a used auto parts business as well as the house where they raised their two daughters. Jacqueline’s involvement with Congregation Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek synagogue brought her great joy and fulfillment. She was a regular at the Saturday morning Holy Scrollers where Torah, coffee, and friends invigorated and sustained her. Her strong friendships with her mahjong group and high school classmates were a source of great joy. Jacqueline’s ability to listen, really listen, has been her trademark. Her gift to make those around her feel special, her warmth, dignity, and remarkably positive outlook on life made Jacqueline beloved to all who knew her. She will be greatly missed. Funeral services were held, December 22, 2016 at 1:00PM at Congregation Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek, 55 East King’s Highway, Chester, CT. Burial followed in the Rodfe Zedek Cemetery in Moodus.

Hello Sally and Lisa,

I just came across this today. I remember meeting you as a young child at family events. My father enjoyed visiting your parents, and made a point of it every time he came to Connecticut. Your mother had a good heart, and was always kind to us. If you are ever in Israel you can pay us a visit. Take care.

Your Mom and Dad were just the best, they were so good to my Mom and Dad over the years. When ever I would meet up with your mom I would tell her I just luv her perfume. She was just a beautiful lady. Cherish the moment and memories. Patti Czaja Giboski ,Haddam, Ct

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Jackie.
I grew up in the same neighborhood where she and her husband Jack lived. I remember as a young girl going to visit her at the garage.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

Dear Lisa and Sally.
I'm so very sorry to hear of your mothers passing. When I was new to the temple and attending Torah she went out of her way to make me feel I belonged. A truly warm, generous and innately humorous individual who I gravitated to sit beside at study. I felt truly blessed to have known her. My love goes out to both of you.

Most sincere condolences to all the family. Jackie and Jack were special friends of my parents many years ago, and that was shared within our family. Many memories! They gave so much and will be missed. We were fortunate to have had them as a part of our lives.

Dear Sally and Lisa: I am heart broken to know of your Mother's passing. I had just put a Chanukah card in the mail box on Wednesday morning when I heard about your loss I had to run and retrieve it before it posted. I am deeply sorry that I could not make service today but your Mom has been on my mind all day. I will miss her for many reasons from her joke telling to serious conversations over lunch and just enjoying her hospitality and good nature. Please know I send my sincere sympathy to you Sally and Lisa and all your family. Love, Ruthie
