It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jacqueline Rae Knarr, fondly known as Jackie aka "MooMoo", who left us on November 17, 2025, at the age of 73. Born on October 30, 1952, Jackie was a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many around her.

Jackie was a devoted family woman. She found immense joy in the company of her two daughters, Angela Kopcha and Nicole Kopcha, and delighted in being a grandmother to Brooke Hieber, Nicholas Kopcha, Shayna Kopcha, and Brianna Kopcha. Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren, Joey Kopcha and Evie Arnold, who brought immense joy to her later years.

Throughout her life, Jackie nurtured her love for animals, particularly her cherished cat, Stevie. She was known for her spirited personality, a trait that shone brightly during special times, especially the holidays, which were filled with laughter and love.

Jackie enjoyed playing cards with friends. She also had an endearing passion for engaging in crossword puzzles that challenged her mind and entertained her spirit. Among her favorite pastimes, Jackie loved watching scary movies.

She will be warmly remembered by her friends, Brenda Harless and Kenny Eberly, who shared countless memories with her over the years.

Jackie's life is now a beautiful memory foreshadowed by the love she shared with her family and friends. She rejoins her departed loved ones, including her father Eugene Haynes, mother Virginia Downey, stepmother Madge Haynes, and siblings Roseanne, Sandy, and Ted, as well as her loyal dog Freddy.

Jackie's spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her, reminding us all of the joy found in family, friendship, and the simple pleasures of life.
