Sebring, Florida
TILLMAN, Jacqueline "Jackie" Feyes, age 66, passed away on Thursday, April 25, 2013 in Lakeland, Florida. She was born in Wilk-insburg, Penn-sylvania on March 26, 1947 to Alex and Elsie (Arendas) Feyes. A resident of Vero Beach, FL since 1947, she graduated from Vero Beach High School in 1965. She received an Associate in Arts Degree from Lakeland Institute of Fine Arts. She was a receptionist for Rissman, Barrett, Hurt, Donahue & McLain, P.A. in Vero Beach, FL for 14 years. She was a member of St. Helen's Catholic Church in Vero Beach and a member of the Indian River County chapter of MADD where she served as a state representative. She also worked with the Indian River County Sheriff's Department Victim's Assistance program. She moved to Sebring, FL in 2005, to be closer to her only sister. For the last 8 years, she was employed with South Florida State College, Avon Park, FL, where she served as a Case Data Specialist, Panther Youth Partners. She was a member of St. Catherine Catholic Church in Sebring and a member of the Eagles Club. She had a knack for quoting movies and a passion for searching on Google. She was a fiery, independent woman, who fought for what she believed to be important. With that fighting spirit, she was never afraid to offer her opinion, even if you didn't ask for it. Her booming laugh and jubilant voice often preceded her into a room. Those who knew her will most likely remember her contagious smile and unending compassion. And though we lost her light here on earth, heaven just became that much more interesting. She is survived by her only daughter and son-in-law, Trinity (Hundredmark) and Joseph Fitzpatrick of Atlanta, Georgia; her sister, Dr. Deborah Fuschetti of Sebring, FL and granddaughter, Elsa Fitzpatrick. Visitation will be held on Sunday, April 28, 2013 from 5:00 - 7:00 pm at the Stephenson-Nelson Funeral Home with Services at St. Catherine Catholic Church on Monday, April 29, 2013 at 11:00 am with Father Peter Sheehan officiating. Graveside services will take place at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Ft. Pierce, FL on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 1:00 pm. Arrangements entrusted to: Stephenson-Nelson Funeral Home Sebring, Florida.
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. You are all deep in my thoughts and prayers. I hope all of your wonderful memories will help ease your pain. Jackie was such an extraordinary person that contributed so much while she was here.... She was the epitome of a good and faithful servant. She left a strong, tenacious and beautiful daughter to carry on her legacy. RIP my dear friend!

She was a truly remarkable, wonderful woman. She would light up a room when she entered it, and she will be missed terribly. But how lucky I was to have known her. My heart, love and prayers are with you, Dr. Fu, and her entire family.
