Jacqueline DiRenzo Obituary
She grew up in Gorham, and attended the Robie School. Jackie married Anthony DiRenzo and together they shared over 50 years of marriage before his passing in 2012. She spent her younger years working for Alice Paper Boy and later at the family business, Matty's nightclub.
Jackie was an avid Bingo player and enjoyed going on trips to the casino. She liked to be active, especially going shopping, and finding treasures at yard sales. She had an impressive doll collection, and above all, Jackie loved her family dearly.

Our memories of Aunt Jackie, Uncle Tony, Gary and Michael go way back. Growing up, our families spent a lot of time together. We would attend Sunday church services and then go out to lunch.We all worked in some capacity in the family business, Matty's Dine and Dance and D&J Variety.Our families rented cottages together in the summer for a week at a time which was a lot of fun. We also had yard sales together. We loved spending time with them. Aunt Jackie was our mom's (Claire) best friend and sister-in-law and mom will be lost without her...they loved each other. We want to say thank you to Gary for being there for our mom when needed and God Bless you for all you did for your mom...you were there every moment she needed you, even though you were going thru a lot in your own life. Aunt Jackie is a sweet, kind lady and we will miss her. Love Robin and Tammy
