Jacqueline "Jackie" Ellis

Jacqueline "Jackie" Ellis passed away peacefully on March 27, 2024, at the age of 88. Born on December 14, 1935, in Columbus, Ohio, she was the daughter of the late Jack and Ethel Jones. Jackie grew up in Macon, Georgia, where she graduated from Miller High School and went on to attend Wesleyan College.

Jackie’s life was centered on her family, and she dedicated herself wholeheartedly to raising her children as a devoted stay-at-home mom. Her love knew no bounds, and she cherished every moment spent with her children, never wanting to be apart from them.

One of Jackie's greatest joys in life was her love for dogs, particularly golden retrievers, whose loyalty and companionship brought her immense happiness throughout the years.

Described as sweet, giving, and caring, Jackie's warm presence and love extended beyond her immediate family to all who knew her. Her devotion to her family was evident in every aspect of her life.

Jackie is survived by her loving children, Steve Ellis and Cindy Stokes (Walt); grandchildren, Chris Ellis (Caroline) and Michael Stokes; and great-granddaughter, Sloane Ellis, with another great-grandchild on the way. She was preceded in death by her parents and daughter-in-law, Denise Ellis.

In honoring Jackie's memory, her family will hold a private service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to "Adopt a Golden Atlanta” https://adoptagoldenatlanta.com/ reflecting her affection for golden retrievers.

Though she may no longer be with us, Jackie's legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering devotion to family will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by her family and friends. May she rest in eternal peace.
