She deeply loved and appreciated her wide and wonderful circle of friends in our Kenton Way neighborhood.

 Jacque was a classy, vibrant, extremely generous woman. Beautiful inside and out; a friend to all. She opened her heart and home to family and friends, as well as to people she hardly knew.  A compassionate and non-judgmental listener, Jacque excelled at helping people feel safe, accepted and understood.

Jacque greatly missed by all who knew her in our neighborhood. I live virtually right across from her and she was eager to let me know not to forget to light the Hanukkah candles. She has a special place in my heart.

So sorry to hear of this.  Many prayers to you girls and your families.  I worked with Jackie for many years at Wildwood and she spoke often and with much delight of you both!~Diane Rider

Barbra and Megan, 
I'm just returning home from the wonderful service celebrating your Mama's life of selfless service to others--fully and completely, without reservation.  I shall never have a glass of wine (red and wet!), or sit alone to listen to one of those blusy Sinatra ballads, without thinking of Jackie. Her life has blessed mine, and the life of everyone she met.  Her humor, intellect, caring heart, talent combined in the most congenial and charming personality!  She never failed to remind me that I offended her (sense of humility) when I told her she was "the perfect woman!"  But that's how I'll forever remember her!

I have had the pleasure to know Jackie for almost 30 years.  She and her daughters were patients of my office.  It not only saddens my heart for the loss, but not being able to give her one more heart felt hug when she left my office every year.  Jackie was a part of my family and I will miss her, God is lucky to have such a wonderful woman. Peace be with all that were lucky to have know her.

I am so sad to Jackie's  family! We grew up in the same congregation in Cambridge, Ohio. She accompanied my French horn solos for our band contests? she was a very talented and lovely Christian woman. She will be missed by many people. My condolences to her family.

So sorry to hear of Jackie's passing.  She had thought we could get together when she came to Ohio this summer.  We were college roommates - either adjacent rooms or together for 4 years and have kept in touch all these years.    She was a talented lady.  Our prayers are with  all of her family.  I know she will be missed.

Jackie was such a dear friend. She gave me my job back when I returned from California to Colorado. She will be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Susan Crenner

So sorry to hear of Jackies passing and was hoping to see her at our Class of 1957 in August,  Our prayers are with all the family and know she will be sadly missed.  Lowell and Dagmar Thomas

I have known Jackie since the early 90s.  We sang together in The Denver Turnverein Chorus and of late in the One World Singers. As one of the accompanists for the chorus, we often had women's sectional rehearsals at her home. On one of our European chorus trips, Jackie and another past member of the DTC fell literally in love with Lemoncello in Italy. We called them the Lemoncello Ladies and she laughed.  Jackie was truly a wonderful lady. I will miss my dear friend.  May the Lord welcome you into His heavenly kingdom with open arms. 

Barbra and Meagan,  I knew your mother and father from attending Alexandria, VA Church of Christ.  In fact, your mother sang at my wedding in June 1975.  Barbra you were my flower girl and I was your baby sitter.  My mom and dad (Les & Carol Mathias) came to visit your family when you lived in Norway.  Your mom was an excellent hostess and we enjoyed going to her home for a meal.  She, of course had a beautiful voice, smile, and laugh.  I have no doubt that she was a wonderful christian example not only for friends & family but for countless others that we may never know. "Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins." Ephesians 5:2

Jackie will be missed so terribly much by her One World Singers' family.
she provided friendliness and comfort to those of us who are fairly new
in the chorus. Her wit and cookies were a hit  
she was at my left during concerts, where she will remain forever.
Fondly,
Linda Edwards 2nd Sop 
 

we were so shocked to hear of your loss, our hearts ache for you. We have you in our thoughts and prayers.

Words are ten-fold, when thinking and remembering the beautiful, loving person that Jackie will always be remembered for.  I will always think of
Jackie, in so many ways, always will be by my side when I sing beautiful
music.

It was easy to love Jackie. In One World Singers, Jackie really was one of the Moms of the choir.  Now, I can sing - but I sure can't cook. Once, when I had to fix some rice for a choir dinner, Jackie said, "You mean you can't even cook RICE?!" And she held my hand and helped me make it. Such a warm, classy lady.

Jackie was a perfect role model for kindness, caring, honesty and faith.  She stood up for what was right, regardless of consequences.  She trusted in God to guide her life and nothing surpassed her love for her family.  She grew up with a loving family, and the love of music bonded them tightly.  She had an infectious laugh, opened her home to all,  and was loved by many.  We will miss her.  Our loss is Heaven's gain.  Cheri, Judi and Chuck (Harold Hill's children).

I have sung with Jackie since about 1992.  She was a big contributor to how the chorus was run.  She was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed.
Thelma and Don Perkin

Jackie put all of herself in whatever she chose to do. She was full of determination, joy, love of others, dignity and grace. Her sense of humor while biting always showed her love and concern for others. Most of all she loved her family and friends with all of her heart. She is missed by many.

Jackie was kind and generous and caring. Regardless of her stature, she was a towering figure in the One World Singers, especially to her fellow Altos. She offered her home many times for us to have extra rehearsals. Her voice was strong and lovely. 

Jackie sent me several cards recently to cheer me along in my recovery from skiing accident. It meant so much to me to hear from her. One card was signed, "Hang tough," and I keep it close by, because I know she was someone who knew the meaning of hanging tough through rough times.

Barbra and Megan,
I knew your mom through our mutual friend, Rita Hull, and I admired her energy and dedication to her family and extended family.  I was a recipient of Jackie's compassion and I know Rita joins with Jackie's family and other friends in welcoming her to our Father's heavenly choir.  Cindy Minter (Raleigh, NC)

What  a lovely  Christian lady you were.  Now you can sing with all the angels .  You.  will be missed . 
Sherilyn and James Curry

A wonderful Christian lady who will be missed by many. Thankful we are among those who knew her and will miss her. Much love to her family along with many prayers.

The singing in Heaven just got a lot better

We will never forget Jackie's "Black and white are always right".  We will miss a wonderful Christian friend and will remember her family in our prayers.

Little did I know, at such a young age, the amazing blessing God gave to our family when the Siegfried family moved in just several doors down. I have such fond memories of family dinners at the Siegfried house.  To date, my favorite German dinner is roulade thanks to Jackie introducing it to me.  Jackies roulade was the best! When she wasnt cooking her amazing meals, Jackie was a true gardener.  I remember when she designed a beautiful backyard oasis, complete with a waterfall and a bridge. Besides being a marvelous neighbor, she was a beautiful woman, inside and out. Jackie had the best laugh, it would light up the room.  She was a wonderful mother and friend to all of us girls. She made time for everyone. More than anything, Jackie Siegfried was a true example of a Godly woman. I know the Lord has prepared a throne for her in Heaven, because she was a royal woman who will always have a special place in my heart.  

I met Jackie at OWS....I loved talking to her and always sharing a laugh. She was so loved at the choir and will be missed very much. She was a really lovely person and I will miss her.

Jackie inspired me always. A lady with warmth, class, grace, wit and wisdom that transcended through generations. Great taste and was such a wonderful hostess, I will miss her words of wisdom, faith, stories and encouragement and especially her emails. Such a great loss and BTW ... way too soon... love you Jackie, the good lord will be thrilled to have your company. 

Jackie was one of the sweetest, kindest ladies I have known.  She made me feel like we had known each other forever since the first time I met her.  Love your sweet family Jackie, and I know you will be missed deeply by many!

Jackie's life on Earth was spent serving our Lord and pleasing Him.  She was loved by so many and her memories as well as her Christian example will remain in our hearts forever.
