Lois Jacquelin Rider

Lois Jacquelin Rider, known affectionately as Jackie, passed away on January 24, 2021, in Grayson, Georgia, at the age of 68. Born on May 25, 1952, in Ashtabula, Ohio, to Jack and Marie Stewart, Jackie grew up in Ohio and graduated from Wickliffe High School.

Years after high school, Jackie married Bob on June 30, 1973. They enjoyed living in several states through her life - one of Jackie's favorite homes was in Kansas City and she loved cheering on the Chiefs for many years. After Kansas City, Jackie settled (again) in the suburbs of Atlanta. Jackie carved out a successful career at Precision Planning, Inc., in Lawrenceville, Georgia, where she dedicated many years before retiring. Upon retiring, her tenacity and strength were profoundly demonstrated in her victorious battle against leukemia, a testament to her fighting spirit. She loved her poodles fiercely - Ben, K.C., Bailey, Tanner, & Tallie and if you ever wondered where she spent her free time, you could probably find her shopping or attending one of her grandsons' many games.

Jackie's life was enriched by deep connections with her family and friends. She leaves behind her beloved husband, Bob Rider; daughters, Jaime (Chip) Evans and Becky Rider; and cherished grandchildren, Chandler and Jared Evans. Her sisters, Diane Kerfeld and Janet (Dale) Morse, along with many in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, will also hold her memory dear. Jackie was preceded in death by her parents, Jack and Marie Stewart, and her in-laws, William and Jean Rider, along with her brother-in-law, Rodger Rider.
