Jacolyn Elisabeth "Jackie" Burgess

Jacolyn "Jackie" Elisabeth Burgess completed her earthly journey on November 7, 2025, surrounded by her loving children, who held her hands as she peacefully passed into the arms of God. Strong in her faith and confident in her purpose, Jackie knew it was time to go home to her Maker. Jackie spent most of her life in Linstead on the Severn River, where she formed deep and lasting friendships while walking the neighborhood she loved so dearly. Like her husband, Bill, who preceded her in death in 2015, Jackie treasured life on the river - swimming, boating, crabbing, and taking in the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Jackie earned her Associate of Arts degree with honors (Magna Cum Laude) from Anne Arundel Community College and attended Fordham University in New York City. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children: Bill Jr. (and his wife Robbie), Anne Marie (and her husband Jim), and John (and his wife Melissa); her 12 grandchildren; and her 10 great-grandchildren. She is reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband, William F. Burgess Sr.; her parents, John and Lillian; her brother, Dick; and her daughter, Jackie. A celebration of Jackie's life will be held on Saturday, November 15th at 2:00 PM at Severna Park Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 110/114 Ritchie Hwy, Pasadena, MD 21122. Jackie's faith, kindness, and laughter will continue to ripple through the lives she touched. She leaves this world with the same grace with which she lived - onward and upward.
