Maryanne Jackaway Obituary
KINGSTON- Maryanne Jackaway, 67, of Kingston died Monday, July 2, 2018, in the care of hospice at Health Alliance Hospital, Broadway Campus.
She was born June 10, 1951; the daughter of the late Vincent and Helen (Merkle) Brooks.
Maryanne attended SUNY New Paltz. She was employed at Nekos-Dedricks pharmacy for over 40 years.
In addition to being a loyal employee, Maryanne was a loving wife, mother, and friend to all she encountered. She will be forever remembered for her kindness, generosity, and ability to tell a great story. Known as "The Link" in her family, she was the keeper of all the family knowledge. She was also an unofficial "mayor" of uptown Kingston, greeting each passerby with a smile, a joke or a dollar. Maryanne made friends wherever she went. She was deeply spiritual and loved to spend time in nature. She was a beautiful person inside and out and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Surviving are her daughter, Jennifer Samuels; her brother, Kevin Brooks and his wife Vicki; and nieces, Kelly (Kyle) Petramale, Jillian, and Kristen Brooks.
Her husband, Dr. Theodore Jackaway, died June 29, 2011.
Funeral arrangements were under the guidance of the Joseph V. Leahy Funeral Home, Inc. 27 Smith Avenue, www.jvleahyfh.com.
In keeping with Maryanne's wishes, funeral services were private. Burial was held in St. Peter's Cemetery.
