Jacqueline O'Brien Obituary


Jacqueline M. O'Brien (Ciminski)

Jacqueline Marie O'Brien (Ciminski), 74, of Edmonds, WA met with her savior on March 4, 2013, at Providence Hospital. She was born October 31, 1938 in Little Falls, MN, the daughter of William Ciminski and Bernice Knoll.
Jackie graduated from Bay View High School in Milwaukee, WI with the class of 1957. In 1967, Jacqueline moved to Edmonds. Jackie's husband worked for Boeing while Jackie cared for their three children. In her spare time she enjoyed sewing, crafts, camping, traveling and time on the family boat.
She is survived by her three children, Dawn (Dan) Fyre, Lisa O'Brien and John (April) O'Brien of Marysville, WA; four grandsons, Beau Clementi, Rydell Laird, Joseph Hannon and Trey O'Brien; her brother, Gary (Randi) Ciminski of Oak Harbor, WA; and nephew, Kyle Ciminski.
She was preceded in death by her father, William P. Ciminski; mother, Bernice Knoll; and a brother, William J. Ciminski.
A private celebration of life will be held.
In every beautiful flower we see your face. Your presence is always known. Life must go on through the pictures and memories, but you already know. Today is just the beginning but tomorrow won't mend. Your life was just the start and death will never be the end. If love alone could have saved you, you would have never passed. Today we reflect on your life and how it went too fast. We love you mom. (JMJ)

Beloved sister, where do I start? I can see you walking home from Bay View High with that great big smile on your face (my Patti Page) you wave to me and all I know is all is perfect in our little world on Griffin Avenue, Milwaukee WI. Dad is in his lawn chair watering the grass with his portable radio you gave him last Christmas by his side, He loves listening to his Milwaukee Braves baseball game. Your getting closer, Mom's opening the screen door and is bragging to Dad about how beautiful the kids are. I see Bill has joined you as you near home. He always says you are the best girl out there and the prettiest too. Your home at last. were all finally together, I just wish it so, if only for a moment. My tears are but small offerings to God of how deeply I will always love you. You rest now Schaida, your stuggles are over, your pain is gone. God lives in this house, he will keep you all safe until we meet again.
Jackie, leave a light on for me OK?
Gar, (your lucky brother) (JMJ)

Grams, Not a day goes by since your passing that I don't think of the many memories we've shared. It was such a blessing to be with you and I always cherished those moments. I wish we had more time but god calls his children home at some point. I know we have someone in our corner now and I can feel you with me everyday. I find a lot of comfort in that. You know how much I love you and miss you because I tell you everyday. You were the perfect grandma in every way and I can't wait til the day that I see you again.
