Jacqueline Eder Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 27, 2025.
Jacqueline Ann Eder (née Reigle), affectionately known as Jacki, passed away on May 15, 2025, in Wilmington, Delaware, at the age of 58. Born on September 1, 1966, in Pennsylvania, she brought warmth and joy to those around her throughout her life.

A graduate of Oxford Area High School, Jacki was known for her kind heart and vibrant spirit. Her outgoing nature and infectious laughter made her a cherished presence in every room she entered. She had an uplifting personality that left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

Jacki's love for animals and music reflected her compassionate and joyful soul. Whether caring for a beloved pet or enjoying a favorite song, she found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. Her devotion to her family was unwavering; she gave selflessly and loved deeply.

She is survived by her loving spouse, Gregory Smith; her daughters Makaylah, Kristin Eder, and Kellie Querry; and her grandchildren Ryleigh Rivera and Quillyn Furrowh. Jacki's memory will also be held close by many others who were touched by her generosity and light.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Dorothy Reigle, and her sister, Patricia Reigle.

A celebration of Jacqueline's life was held in Wilmington, Delaware.

May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her. A Celebration of Life will be held on May 29, 2025, from 01:00 PM to 04:00 PM at VFW 3420 649 churchmans rd.
