Jackie Walp

Jackie Mae Walp, age 78, of Broken Bow, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully, on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at the McCurtain Memorial Hospital in Idabel, Oklahoma. She was born on Tuesday, July 30, 1946, to Delbert Guess and Robbie Gene Scallons Whittenberg in De Queen, Arkansas.
Jackie was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother who cherished her family above all else. She was of the Pentecostal faith and found great joy in sharing her love through cooking-her meatloaf was a favorite among her children. She embraced her Texas Cherokee heritage, spending time creating beautiful Native American beadwork, tending to her garden and flower beds, and sewing with care. A dedicated worker, she spent many years at Taylor Publishing Company in Dallas, Texas. Jackie's warmth, creativity, and deep love for her family will always be remembered and cherished.
