Jacqueline Marguerite Willett Blagg, known affectionately to all as Jackie, passed away Monday, Oct. 20, 2025, at her home in Paducah. She was 76.
Born on Aug. 24, 1949, to the late Raymond and Lucienne Romand Willett, Jackie lived a life of love and devotion to her faith and her family. Jackie's love for the outdoors was evident through her avid dedication to gardening. Her garden was not only a sanctuary for her but also a testament to her patience and nurturing spirit.
Jackie was heavily involved with the Benevolent Program at Lone Oak Church of Christ. Jackie loved to travel - a hobby that she and her husband, Daryl, shared and loved every second being together. Above all, Jackie cherished her family. Their happiness and well-being were the keystones of her existence, especially her treasured grandson, Austin, who was her pride and joy. The bond they shared was truly special, and her love for him was boundless.
Jackie is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Daryl Blagg of Paducah; two sons, Dennis (Meagan) Blagg of Murray and Brian (Vanessa) Blagg of Paducah; a grandson, Austin Blagg of Paducah; one sister, Lillie (Stan) Knight of Paducah; two brothers, Gabriel (Sally) Willett of Paducah and Danny (Linda) Willett of Palestine, Texas; and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Visitation will be held from 10:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 24, at the Lone Oak Chapel of Milner & Orr Funeral Home. Services will follow at 1 p.m., with Paul Wingfield officiating. Burial will follow at Woodlawn Memorial Gardens.
