Jacqueline M. O'Rourke-Lynch

Jacqueline M. O'Rourke-Lynch (Quinn), 82, passed away peacefully on July 19, 2025, in her home with her husband Joseph W Lynch by her side. Before retiring Jackie worked for Ernst & Young for 30 years while taking care of her family. In her retirement, she gave back to her community as an AARP volunteer, supporting people with their taxes and insurance selection decisions.

Jackie was a devoted parishioner of St. Kevin Church in Warwick. Her faith in God and her dedication to her family were the cornerstones of her life. As the loving matriarch of her family, she led by example - offering guidance and wisdom that spanned generations and will continue to inspire those she leaves behind. Jackie cherished gatherings, especially those by the water, where she connected deeply with loved ones. Whether listening, sharing stories, or simply being present, her warmth and generosity left an indelible mark on everyone she met. Her legacy of love and devotion endures in the hearts of her family and friends.

Jackie was the beloved wife of Joseph Lynch and the late Joseph O'Rourke, with whom she shared many cherished years. She was a devoted mother to Scott O'Rourke and his wife, Mary and to Erin O'Rourke and her partner, Stephen. Jackie's legacy of love continues through her eight adored grandchildren - Robert, Thomas, Stephanie, Ryan, Hope, Sean, Leah, and Cole - as well as her four great-grandchildren: Jack, Ellie, Levi, and Devon, with another eagerly anticipated. She is also survived by her brothers Michael Quinn, Kevin Quinn and Sean Walker. She was predeceased by her brother Raymond Quinn.
