Jacqueline Diane Klestinec

Jackie will be incredibly missed by her daughters, Jahna and Alycia; son-in-law Darren; her grandson, Gage “Bunny”; nephews, John, Robert, and Joey; brothers-in-law, Don Bodiam and Rick (Carol) Klestinec, their children Daniel (Laurren) and Lauren (Robert); as well as numerous relatives and friends. Also, two fur baby grand cats, George “Bubin” and Bella.

She was predeceased by her loving husband, Fred (2024); her parents, Dorothy and Max; her sister, Terri; and her niece, Tracy. As well as four amazing family dogs.

Jackie and Fred met and married in Toronto, Ontario. Their free spirit brought them to Saulte St. Marie on St. Joseph Island, Ontario. They later settled in Calgary, Alberta where they enjoyed 50 years of marriage with the love of family, friends and many pets. Jackie started in banking before she later joined the ALCB and worked there for 15+ years. She also served as a caregiver to two very special ladies. Jackie later moved on to a fulfilling career with the Calgary Board of Education as a T.A., working with children in behavioural and treatment classes. Jackie was the most gracious, gentle and compassionate being. Jackie was an avid reader, she loved to laugh and had the most beautiful infectious smile. Jackie loved nature, she loved to garden, and loved music. Most of all she loved her Family and was loved by all. Jackie was a Snow Angel to many elderly neighbours.

In retirement, Jackie and Fred moved to Didsbury, Alberta where they were rewarded by their caring neighbours becoming their Snow Angels.

Jackie (Mum, Moonter) was a beautiful soul and will be lovingly remembered by everyone who knew her. Jackie will be forever in our hearts and prayers.
