My mom was a true lady! She taught me to be the best person I could be. There is NO substitute for such a lovely and kind woman in your life and I was and am one lucky daughter to have her as my mom. I love and miss you every day and know that you and dad are in heaven together loving each other as much as you did here on this earth.

I was deeply saddened to learn Jackie passed away. I attended Gardens Elementary and Jackson Junior High with her, and we lived just down the street from her and Bob for many years in Pasadena. She was a lovely lady, and all who knew her were richer for it. May our God of all Comfort bless and keep her family during this time of bereavement.

Jackie was my classmate for many years. She was always so sweet and kind to everyone. I have many fond memories of her. So sorry for your loss.

Jackie will always have a special place in our hearts. She and Bob always showed a special hospitality to us. Our daughter, Toni was fortunate to have Jackie for a mother-in-law. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Koonce family. May Jackie rest in peace.
