--
She was born Sept. 22, 1949, to Dr. Benjamin H. Pahl and Eula (Billie) Louise Warehime Pahl in Kearney where she attended school.
On Jan. 3, 1970, she married Michael G. Lashley and to this union two children were born: Benjamin Allen and Amy Jo. The family moved to North Platte in March 1973 and Jackie was a stay-at-home mom.
She enjoyed working at Whitaker Furniture, Century 21 Wilkinson Agency, Chamber of Commerce and retired in 2015 from Commercial Investment Services Stefka Agency.
Jackie's college education was interrupted by marriage and children, but she always believed education was important. While working full time, married with two teenagers at home, she took classes and graduated in 1991 from the last graduating class of Kearney State College before it became UNK.
Jackie enjoyed attending plays and shopping with friends, traveling, playing golf and bridge, dogs and yard work. Most of all, she enjoyed watching her son and daughter grow, marry and become contributing members of this community while being a good example to their children.
Jackie attended many churches beginning and ending with the Methodist church, serving as a Sunday school teacher and on the church councils. She believed in salvation through Jesus.
Jackie was a founding member of Chapter HO in P.E.O. She cherished this sisterhood and counted its members among her oldest and closest friends.
Survivors include her children, Ben (Libby) Lashley and Amy (Brian) Johnston; grandchildren, Morgan, Maggie and Maya Lashley, Skyler and River Johnston; Gil Wilkinson, his siblings, sons and their families who so warmly welcomed Jackie into their family; sister Bobbie Welty and her boys and their families in Tennessee; and many good friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and a brother-in-law Jon Welty.
Memorials may be made to further education for women: P.E.O. Star Scholarship or Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation.

Dear Ben, Amy, Bobbie, Gil & Families...
Please know that my heart goes out to you all at this very difficult time. I do understand what you are going through, as I lost my husband Ken this past November. Grief is such a private thing... we each handle it differently... in our own way and in our own timeframe.
I always enjoyed being around Jackie at family gatherings... I mostly remember her smile, her unique voice, and her laugh. She was a lovely lady, inside and out. Jesus was her anchor, so you can rest assured that a room had been prepared for her. Please remember, that comfort is just a prayer away. Jackie knew that.
With Love and Sympathy,
Carol Laux

I knew Jackie from childhood and remember the fun times we used to have together as our families were friends for many years. We both got married and moved to North Platte the same year and rekindled our friendship..... many fun times we shared with our families and a lot of bridge playing as couples. She was a very strong in her ideals and I will remember here with much fondness...RIP Our deepest Sympathy to all her family, you will all be in our hearts and prayers.
