Jacklyn Ann Masters

Jacklyn Ann Masters, was born on November 22, 1979, a true miracle from the day she was laid in her mother’s arms. She possessed a child-like heart that appreciated the beauty of the nature around her, colorful rainbows, the sound of rain or setting in the sunshine on a summer’s day. She grew to love car rides and being able to watch the scenery as she passed down the road. Her favorite place of all was the zoo and would visit there multiple times throughout the summer months. Jacklyn loved to be pampered, never wanting to leave the shower and enjoyed having her nails and hair done. She found comfort in her stuffed animals, her pink unicorn and brown koala bear never left her side. Jacklyn was a bit on the sassy side. She liked to keep her friends and family on their toes and was sure to let you know if she didn’t like something. She had an unmistakable sound of joy when she was happy and loved her family and friends unconditionally. This little angel was carried to Heaven on Friday, March 1, 2024 with those she loved by her side. Jacklyn overcame many obstacles during her 44 years of life and is now running the streets of gold, surrounded by unmatchable beauty. Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those her life has touched.

She has gone on to join her mother, Patricia Ann Drywater, her grandparents, Esiah and Ida Drywater, one niece, Kylee Murphy and numerous aunts.
