Jacqueline Geile, 79, of Arnold, Mo., died June 10, 2018 at her home. Born November 26, 1938, Jackie was proceeded in death by her husband of 58 years, Bob Geile. She is survived by her sons Rob (Debbie), Ken (Renee), grandchildren Zach, Tyler, Amanda, Nicholas and Jake.
Jackie was a homemaker while her boys were young, then spent thirty years in the healthcare industry as a receptionist for prominent Arnold physicians, Dr. Deleon and Dr. S. K. Mehra.
As a Mom and Grandma, Jackie was committed to the well-being of her family, often shelving her own needs to assure her sons and grandchildren were outfitted for school or sports so they could best succeed. When her sons were young, she managed the household then spent most evenings at some sporting event cheering for 'her boys'. A fan of all sports, she often spent the ride home analyzing the game and offering suggestions on how to improve.
As a wife, Jackie was married to her best friend, and always told her family that her and Bob never went to sleep mad at each other. Their trademark was to finish the night with 'I love you...I love you more' banter before turning off the lights.
Jackie was always known as a bold personality who shared her opinion on the subject at hand. Her ability to converse with old or new friends always made her a welcome personality at both her work and social life.
Jackie's love for her family and friends was always on display. She was never reserved about hugging her family and friends and sharing her feeling of love and compassion.
