Jackie Kolpin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 24, 2025.
It breaks our hearts to say goodbye to our loving Mom, Jackie Lee (Heath) Kolpin, 71, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on September 18th, 2025. Born to John and Ramona Heath on June 29, 1954, in Sioux City, Iowa.

Jackie's greatest joy in life was her family. She married Harold on April 6, 1974, and together they loved & raised four children: Heather, Hollie, Heath, and Morgan.

She had the biggest heart and always made room for family. Her love for nature led the family outdoors to parks, lakes, and great camping adventures.

She was the best Grandma, loved to be surrounded by family, and never ran out of love to share.

Jackie was preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband Harold, her parents John & Ramona Heath, and her sister, Carol Borck.

Jackie's memory will be cherished and kept alive by her children; Heather (Steve), Hollie (Scott), Heath (Serena), and Morgan (Nathan); Grandchildren: Kris, Kylin, & Ellie, Korryn & Trey, Cosmo, Auggie, & Cael. Siblings: Dan & Jeanette Heath, Dennis Heath, Kristi & Ben Ledin; as well as many other family members and friends.

There will be a celebration of life announced at a future date.

Condolences can be sent to:

The Jackie Kolpin Family

5 SE 69th Ave

Portland, Oregon 97215

In lieu of flowers, remember the bees and plant wildflowers, or a garden to honor the beautiful spirit of our Mom.
