Kelly Hoffmann Jackman

Remembering a sweet lady with the million watt smile.

Dear Dr. Jackman,
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your beautiful and precious wife Kelly. I am sorry to say that I just today learned that our Merciful God called her Home. We have not seen each other for a good few years, but her smile, kindness, welcoming spirit and goodness are imprinted in my heart. She always was so caring and loving. I remember a wonderful Christmas celebration in your wonderful home in Tyler, it was so wonderful to watch her welcoming everyone. I am so deeply sorry that this violent illness took her life so fast, but I find much comfort knowing that she loved you, her Family, all around her, but above all her Awesome God, whom she so beautifully and faithfully served all her life. I thank God for Kelly, knowing that she is in His embrace, I am praying for you and your Family to find comfort and peace in God, whom Kelly loved. May she Rest In Peace
Lovingly in JMJ, Sister Margo

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Kelly Jackman was my Girl Scout mom growing up and I remember her being so organized, especially on our camping trips and getting onto us for giggling in our tents! Years later, I joined her DR missionary group and was not surprised at all to see how well she organized the mission trips. It would make me laugh to see her counting our heads every time we boarded the plane. She always took care of us. Looking back, there were so many times where she took care of me. When she put me in charge of Catechesis for the DR mission trip the second year I went, I remember telling her that I wasn´t cut out for the job and all she said was, "of course you are!" And she never let me have those doubtful thoughts again. Lol
I feel so honored to have known such a remarkable human being. Love you all, Jackman family. Y´all are in my prayers.

I went to the Dominican Republic with Kelly and her mission team in 2020. At the time, I was going through RCIA to enter into the Church and through her kindness and example, I was assured that I was making the right decision. I am thankful that she walked with me on that journey, and I am honored to have known her.

We will all miss Kelly so much. She touched so many in friendship and selfless service. Karen and I think of Kelly and Danny often and you have been in our prayers every day. God Bless the Jackman family.

I never met Kelly but read her obits. Kelly may you rest in peace and enjoy your reward for special life . WOW

I was the physical education teacher at Mercy Academy during Kelly's 4 high school years. After all these years, I remember her well. She was bright, energetic, resourceful & a wonderful friend & classmate to all. All of her amazing accomplishments are tremendous but not surprising. She leaves the world much too soon. My condolences to all family members. May she rest in peace.

Hey Danny. Obviously we have not been in touch, but of course we shared a slice of life together. I'm so sorry to hear about Kelly. I will be holding you in prayer today. Blessings...
