Our amazing, wonderful, beautiful mom, grandma and great grandma passed away surrounded by so many of her loved ones. She was the most amazing person that we could have ever been blessed with and we thank God every day for the time He gave us with her. She was always the life of the party and always had a joke ready to go.

Jackie graduated from St. Peter's High School in Staten Island in 1955 moving to Ohio in 1958. She retired from Hi-Stat Manufacturing. Jackie brought sunshine to everyone she met. She was always smiling and telling jokes and was known as the World's Most Wonderful Mother and Grandmother. Jackie's 80th birthday celebration was a weekend to remember. Her family and friends came from near and far to celebrate with this well-loved and beautiful lady. Jackie lived in Morchester Villa for the last 18 years and enjoyed spending her time with friends and family.

She is survived by four daughters, Patti Kiser, Carole (John) Andreasson, Sara (Mark) Stelzer and Brenda (Marc) Hallabrin; two sons, Garry (Carla) Plew and Larry (Sharon) Plew; a step daughter, Jean Webb; 19 grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren with one on the way and one great great grandchild; a sister, Sister Mary Kenneth Finnerty; and several nieces and nephews.
