Dr Jacquelyn Michelle Cotter (Smith) passed away from cancer on March 20, 2024. She was born on October 21, 1981 and grew up in Montgomery County, PA and Succasunna, NJ. She and her husband Bryan J. Cotter have been raising their sons Mason, Bryce and Evan in Medfield, MA.
Jackie graduated from Roxbury High School (NJ), Villanova University, and UMDNJ as a medical doctor in Pediatrics. She was also talented and successful at designing, refurbishing and contracting to build beautiful homes. She loved caring for children, and was a loving mother and wife.
She loved to travel the world with her family and providing them with countless, diverse experiences. She was adventurous and was always trying new things. She was passionate about raising her boys with love, fun and opportunities to learn. She was a strong, supportive and loving big sister and daughter. She was a dancer, skier, runner, swimmer, gymnast and exceptional student growing up, and enjoyed her grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles at the jersey shore in Surf City. She accomplished and saw more in her short 42 years than most people hope to.
Jackie is survived by her loving husband, Bryan, and sons, Mason, Bryce and Evan, her parents, Gail and Randy Smith, her brothers Gary Smith and wife, Tatiana, and Kyle Smith and wife Jennifer, her Gramma, Joan Smith, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and friends.
