Jaclyn Murphy Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jackie had a vibrant spirit and a warm sense of humor that brought joy to everyone around her. She loved to travel and found peace in the beauty of nature and outdoors. Whether knitting a gift with care, laughing at a good comedy, or sharing her favorite music and movies, Jackie had a unique way of connecting with others and making every moment meaningful.
She is survived by her loving husband, Brian; her cherished son, Ethan; her parents, Tracey and Bill Peterson; her sister, Joie (Justin) Klopp; and several beloved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
A memorial gathering to celebrate Jackie's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her memory to a cancer research foundation of your choice or a charity that reflects Jackie's love of nature and helping others.
Jackie will be deeply missed forever and remembered for the love she gave, the laughs she shared, and the strength she carried with grace.
