Jacquelyne "Jackie" R. Parker

With heavy hearts and a lifetime of memories, we regret to share that Jackie Rita Parker of Bedford, NH, passed away peacefully at home on December 19, 2025, surrounded by her family. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, she eventually made Bedford, New Hampshire, home with her husband Rick, raising their 3 boys for the past 45 years.

Jackie was a woman who truly lit up every room she entered. Her vibrant, upbeat, and contagious personality left a lasting impression on everyone she met. A natural people-person, Jackie never had a bad thing to say about anyone, choosing instead to see the good in all. In her later years, she began working at Target simply because she loved meeting people, a decision that perfectly captured her joyful, social spirit.

Through the years, Jackie navigated the joyful challenge of raising 3 boys along with her loving husband, Rick. Through her patience, Jackie shaped them into hardworking, caring men. Her love, positivity, and unwavering support were the foundation of the Parker family, and her influence will be felt for generations.

Jackie was unforgettable. There wasn’t a person who crossed her path who didn’t remember her fondly or have something positive to say. She had a way of making people feel welcomed, valued, and seen.

She will be deeply missed by Rick, her husband of 52 years; sons Scott (Heather), Donny (Brandie), Corey (Hannah); and her 5 grandchildren (Luke, Brady, Savannah, Hunter, and Cam) of whom she was their biggest fan. Whether she was hosting baseball moms by the pool or cheering loudly at her grandkid’s games, everyone always knew when Jackie was there. Her laughter, enthusiasm, and boundless love filled every space she occupied.

Jackie’s legacy is one of kindness, joy, and connection, a life well lived and a spirit that will never be forgotten.

A visitation will be held at McHugh Funeral Home, located at 283 Hanover Street, Manchester, NH, 031044920, on January 5, 2026, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages you to cherish time with those closest to you.
