Jackie was a quintessential supportive wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, teacher and friend. Along with her devotion to her Lord and Savior, she was devoted to her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She never missed an opportunity to cheer for her family at the youth fair, school concerts or sporting events. Jackie taught second grade for many years at Mars Elementary School in Berrien Springs and served many roles as a member of Trinity Lutheran Church.

She enjoyed spending time outdoors, whether it was fishing and camping or spending time in her garden. Indoor time called for creating beautiful handmade quilts and sewn items for her family to treasure. She was famous for her baking skills, delivering special holiday tea rings to friends and family and always having a blueberry and apple pie or two around. Her family will miss her phenomenal sugar cookie cut-outs at Christmas time.

Jackie will be missed by her children: Todd (Patrice) Lohraff and Michael Lohraff; her grandchildren: Alyssa (Daniel) Gordinier, Madison Lohraff, Kristofer Lohraff and Linsey (Noah) Adams; her great-grandchildren: Olive Adams, Grizzley Adams, Kodiak Adams and Ava Gordinier; her sister, Carol (the late Don) Harrington; and her niece and nephew, Kelly Matuszewski and Richard Harrington.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Larry Lohraff, whom she married on Nov. 26, 1958, in Buchanan; her son, Larry S. Lohraff and her parents.
