News Death Notice
GEORGE, Jacqueline Sue "Jacki" Age 54, passed away on Thursday, March 31, 2016 after a heroic fight with cancer in Dayton, Ohio surrounded by family. She is survived by her husband, Georges Kleinberg, and her two children, Katie and Peter. Predeceased by father (Germanus George), mother (Helen George), and brother (James George). A lifelong resident of Dayton, she graduated from Beavercreek High School before attending and graduating from Wright State University School of Business. Jacki loved to learn and had the opportunity to be an exchange student at the masters of business program in Lyon, France through Wright State University. Jacki worked at Fenwick High School and Avery Dennison. She enjoyed the outdoors and visiting art museums. Jacki was diagnosed with late stage ovarian cancer nearly three years ago and tried to bring awareness of this cancer to others. She has contributed to studies to help develop better treatment plans and hopefully a cure. Jacki was a devoted mother, wife, and daughter. She focused her life on her family and enjoyed getting together with family and friends. Jacki also spent a lot of time volunteering in the community and schools over the years. She enjoyed a sense of humor and attending improv comedy shows downtown. She also often combined her passion of the outdoors and her hobby of photography by taking photos of family and friends in nature. Visitation will be at Routsong Funeral Home in Kettering on Sunday, April 3 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be at Church of the Incarnation Catholic Church 7415 Far Hills Ave., Centerville on Monday, April 4 at 10:30 a.m. Following, burial will be at Calvary Cemetery. The family would like to thank all who contributed positively to Jacki's life and would like to thank the many people who continued to prayer for her during her long-term illness. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to "Noble Circle" at PO Box 750192 Dayton, OH 45475. Jacki participated in Noble Circle's weekend retreats, the 10-week educational sessions and activities throughout the year and ultimately gained a strong support network.

Mere words cannot express the level of sympathy I am sending to Jacki's family. I met Jacki in person on December 3 2012 at Southbrook Church where we had a gathering of all those involved with Cancer Hope - volunteers and survivors. I had been texting prayers and encouraging messages to Jacki for awhile before we met in person. We just hit it off on text and really did in person. It was my honor to support her through prayers and texts and connections we shared....when two years later I received my diagnosis and faced surgery and treatments, Jacki was huge support system for me. So we locked arms as sister in Christ on our quest to gather info and research so we could be educated and educate others. Her spirit of faith and positive attitude has been a real insipiratikn of perseverance and tenacity. I feel blessed to have been able to call her friend. In her memory I will continue on helping others and raise awareness as I am taking classes to become certified holistic health coach. She no longer needs to seek healing or relief from her pains of this world for I know her faith has secured her a special place in Heaven. Prayers will continue for you as you grieve her - we join you in the wonderful memories and also in the substantial sense of loss and void that is now created for us here. Heaven got the angel when Jacki left this world and transitioned to the next. Hugs

Jacki was a perfect model of kindness, generosity, positivity, and love and a dear, dear friend. Her loving spirit was evident to all who came in contact with her, and she helped one believe that true goodness can exist in people. When our son was very young, we were talking about Sweden one day and he said, "Jacki must be Sweetish [Swedish] because she is so sweet!" It is so very hard to believe I will no longer be able to celebrate birthdays with Jacki, as we did for years, but she has left a warm and lasting legacy of love with all who knew her.

I worked with Jacki at Avery Dennison for several years. She was full of enthusiasm, had a positive attitude and always had a smile on her face. She generously helped and encouraged others and our conversations were always enjoyable and enlightening. She was ambitious, loved to learn and had a curiosity that didn't quit. She was a good friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her and all her family.

I will always remember the first time I saw Jacki walking down the hall in high school, that contagious smile in place, she lit up the hallway. That's how I will always remember her, as big as life itself and always thinking of others. To Georges, Peter and Katie, I have never met you but share in a small part, the loss you feel and pray for your comfort.
