Jacquelyn A. Ridley left this life on a sunny, Saturday afternoon at home. She was surrounded by her family after a short battle with Lymphoma. She is survived by her only son, Sean Ridley, her daughter-in-law, Joy Ridley (Cayabyab), and granddaughters, Lauren, Sarah and Allison Ridley. Jackie spent all but the last 6 months of her life as a lifelong Pittsburgher. She graduated from St. Augustine High school in 1963. Jackie went on to work in banking before being employed by Kaufmann's Department store (later Macy's) from the mid 1970's until 2008. She sold fine fragrances and had customers who she worked with for decades.
She is preceded in death by her mother, Elizabeth Keane (Randol), father, John M. Keane. Maternal grandparents, Armela and Alfred Randol and paternal grandmother Francine Keane, as well as her beloved aunt, Dorothy Randol. Jackie loved to read, and had a passion for Civil War history and art and was a fan of the Steelers, Pirates and Penguins.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests you donate to Ohio's Hospice of Dayton at: https://www.hospiceofdayton.org/donations/. Condolences may be shared at www.gebhartschmidtparramore.com.
