Jacqueline Care Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jacqueline F. Caré, affectionately known as Jackie, passed away on September 28, 2025, at the age of 77, after courageously facing a long illness. A resident of Clementon, New Jersey, and formerly of Philadelphia, Jackie was surrounded by love until the very end.
She was the beloved wife of Raphael Caré, and the devoted mother of Karen Miller (Keith) and Joe Giacobbe. Her joy in life was most evident in her role as loving grandmother to Sophia, Jake, and Josephine. Jackie was also the dear sister of Len and Pat Rizzo, Kathy Rizzo and Cathy Aversa. She is survived by many cherished cousins, nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends. She was predeceased by her beloved parents, Jack and Sophie Rizzo and her dear brother, Joe Rizzo.
Jackie lived her life with a generous heart, a vibrant laugh, and a deep desire to lift others up. Whether it was helping people quit smoking, rescuing dogs in need, or simply brightening someone's day with a kind word or joyful spirit, Jackie made the world lighter for those lucky enough to know her.
She never asked for much, but gave so much of herself to everyone around her.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Gardner Funeral Home in Runnemede, NJ, followed by a memorial service at 3:00 PM.
In her own words: "Please, please, please, no flowers. "Instead, honor Jackie's memory by buying a scratch-off lottery ticket and spreading joy to a stranger, or by donating to her favorite dog rescue, where she rescued Willow, at www.dontbullyus.com
Jackie's legacy is one of laughter, kindness, and compassion. May we all carry a piece of her joy forward.

Raphael, Karen & Joe,
My sincere condolences. Jackie and I went through high school together and we enjoyed each other`s company so much. We had the best fun at lunch and walking to classes together. What a beautiful person she was inside and out and think of her often. I will keep you all in my prayers to get through this sad time.
May she rest in peace
Sincerely,
Julie Pennachietti Palmo
