Jacqueline Sue Hobbs was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, Grammy, and friend.
If there's one word that described Jacky best, it would be caring. She cared deeply-for her family, for her friends, and even for people she had never met. Jacky had a heart that overflowed with compassion. Even during her darkest moments, she worried more about the people around her than herself.
To know Jacky was to love her. Her sharp wit and infectious sense of humor could light up any room. But what stood out the most was how much she loved her family. She often spoke of her parents and grandparents, sharing stories-some funny, some sad-but always full of heart. She wanted everyone to remember the good times, and she made sure the memories of those who had passed stayed alive in the hearts of others, whether they had known them or not.
And then, there were her sisters oh, her sisters. If you knew one, you knew them all. They moved as a unit-traveling together, planning game nights, and sharing an unbreakable bond that many can only hope for. Jacky adored her sisters and the connection they shared.
Her husband, David, was her rock for 43 years. She loved him through it all-through life's highs and lows-and stood by his side with unwavering devotion.
Her sons, Justin and Kenny, were her pride and joy-her boys, as she lovingly called them. She was so proud of the men they had become, and when she talked about them, her face would light up. They were her world.
But perhaps one of her most cherished roles was being Grammy. She loved her grandchildren fiercely. Whether she was at the softball fields cheering on Lily several times a week-or, on tougher days, watching the games from her phone-she never missed a moment. There were Easton's sleepovers and late-night talks, usually shared over a slice of cheesecake (yes, even though she was diabetic!). With Colton, she bonded over music and drawing. He would always leave Grammy's with a new song to sing and rainbow hands from either paint or markers. And then there was sweet Oakley. Though the last two years of her life were some of her hardest, Jacky did everything she could to be present for him, to show him how deeply he was loved. While he may not remember much, her family-will pass down the stories of her love and laughter, just as she did for the generations before.
Jacky loved her family with her whole heart-but above all, she loved the Lord. Until her final days, she shared that love with everyone around her. Her faith was her foundation, and her prayers were constant, especially for her family.
Jacky will be lovingly remembered by her husband David, children, Kenneth Allen (Lisa Nicole) Hobbs & Justin David (Tabitha) Hobbs, grandchildren, Lillian Hobbs, Easton Hobbs, Colton Hobbs, and Oakley Hobbs; her brother, Jeffrery Wade Devers; her sisters, Debra Kay (Michael) Draper, Sherry Soard, Terri Hager, and Carla (Bobby) Cannon.

In her final days, she wrote this: So many things make us up. One part connected to the other. At this age nothing seems to fit. If one thing doesn't fall apart is all will. I am a nervous wreck! Trying to be sure I'm breathing the one thing everyone takes for granted. Scares me to death!
I think you lord for every new day! Help me worship you! I thank you for my family. I thank you for dying for me on the cross to loving me, even tho I am unlovable. Everything I have no control over. I give it all to you. I want to praise you, to be thankful for your blessing to grace. Instead of hitting my head against the wall waiting for a change.
I want to be loved by you! And I thank you for being there for me!
Lord you know what needs to be changed. You knew us before we were formed. Break every chain to make the whole. In your precious name of Jesus!
Tick-Tock, tick Tock waiting is the worse part of it all! Where does it all end and why does it end there!!
Running out of sand in my hour glass. These are the days of my life.
Trust in the lord with all your might!
Trust in the lord to make it right!
