Publish in a newspaper
Jackie was born in Hale, Michigan on March 11, 1940, a daughter of the late Chet and Alma (Dunn) Mapes. She married Gerald "Gary" Wright on January 25, 1979.
Jackie loved to go antiquing with her husband, and loved music, dancing and going shopping as well. She was a very creative person, and enjoyed gardening and rearranging things around her home to surprise her husband.
Survivors include her husband of 42 years, Gary Wright; grandson: Thomas Altes; daughter-in-law: Janette Altes; sister: Sharon (Joe) Tavi; brother-in-law: Richard McMasters; sister-in-law: Connie Wetzel and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, children: Thomas and Jerry Altes, and her sisters: Dee Henry and Mary (Jack) Grenier.
Family and friends will gather Thursday, December 23, 2021 for visitation from 11am until the time of the funeral service at 1pm at Simplicity Funeral and Cremation Care, 125 W. Sycamore St. Zionsville, Indiana, 46077.

Jackie and me would leave little notes to each other through out our 43 years together. Here is my last note for her.
My Dear Jackie, I hope you are not mad at me for anything. I have Loved you with all my Heart and always will, you were my Rock, my best Friend and my Soul mate. I Miss you so much. I hope Tom, Jerry, your Mom and Dad, along with Dee and Mary meet you at the Perlie Gate. Please keep a watchful eye on Thomas, Janette and the rest of our Wonderful Family and Friends. You were Loved by so many and Touched so many lives. I will see you sometime in the future, right now I have some unfinished business here. Please always remember, I Love and Miss you so much. Love For Ever Me.
