Jacqueline Estep passed away on January 12th, 2025. A mother, wife, grandmother, sister, and more. She was so much to so many people and enriched their lives in many ways. She was loving and giving, and the heart and soul of our family. She loved GOD and was a devout Catholic her entire life. Jacqueline was always there for her family, friends, animals, and country.

She will be forever missed by all who knew and loved her.
