To the Elvander girls, so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Her and your dad (George) raised wonderful daughters! They were one of the ones that made Sandwich what it is. My mom thought you girls were the best! I hope the days ahead leave you with wonderful memories of both your mom and dad! God bless you all.  The Bridges family.

Pam, Gayle, and Deb, I am so sorry to hear your mom has passed. I have very fond childhood memories of her at your house on town neck. She always made me feel welcomed. Thinking of you all. Kim Small

My thoughts, love and prayers are with all who loved Jackie. I remember her always being a very sweet lady.

My dear friend and her uncle wrote this lovely obituary, but for some reason it was not published. This is a nice tribute to Jackie.

JACQUELYN M. ELVANDER 
April 8, 1934--July 26, 2024
Jacquelyn M. Elvander of East Sandwich passed away peacefully at her daughters home on Friday July 26th 2024.
Jacquelyn is predeceased by her parents John R. Stuart and Mary (Chase) Ferin of Quincy and her husband of 61 years George Edward Elvander, a retired Sandwich Police Sergeant who passed away in 2015. Jackie was born in Quincy Massachusetts and was a 1951 graduate of Quincy High School. Upon graduation she was employed at Massachusetts Auto Rate Insurance in Boston where she met her future husband who was stationed at the U.S. Army Nike Site in Quincy. After marriage Jackie and George settled in Sandwich Massachusetts where they remained. Jackie was employed by many local businesses over the years including Carousel Candies, Buttners, Windsor Button Shop, Country Acres and Spring Hill Motels. Jackie also worked for a small company in East Sandwich constructing crushed glass window decorations. Many of her friends and relatives remember collecting different color bottles for her to turn in to beautiful window creations. Jackie was a volunteer on the Fundraising Committee for the McCarthy Care Center in Sandwich before it became a flourishing hospice facility. Many local women may remember her as a Bluebird and Campfire Girl Leader as she volunteered with that organization while her three daughters were growing up. Some local residents may have also seen Jackie working the polls on voting day. Jackie enjoyed gardening, knitting, family activities especially with her grandchildren, yard sales, Foxwoods and sitting with her cat Wally.  
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made out to McCarthy Care Center in Sandwich in honor of Jackie's memory.
