Jackie Madsen Obituary
Jackie (Elvira) Madsen, of Palm Coast, Florida, recently of Bull Shoals, AR, passed away on December 23rd 2015, from lung surgery complications. Jackie was born July 17, 1941, in Fulda, Germany. She married Robert Madsen on March 3, 1967. She was the proud mother of three daughters; Beatrix Baillargeon of Beebe, AR, Angela Madsen of Aurora, CO and Corinna Madsen of Gassville, AR. Jackie was a military wife, an accountant, a Brownie Leader on Air Force Bases in Germany, a round dance caller, an awesome cook and a loving wife. She never met a stranger and loved the little things in life like her dogs, and fishing for trout at the White River. Along with her husband, Robert, and her daughters, eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and her sisters, Maria Mill of PA, Annemarie Ulrich of Austria and Christ Wueller of Germany, survive Jackie. She was preceded in death by her parents, Maria (Heger) Otterbein and Emil Otterbein and brothers Heinrich and Winfred Otterbein.
Jackie left this world far too early and her family is mourning the loss of her wonderful presence.
