Jacqueline (Jackie) A. Canterbury, 96, originally from O’Fallon, IL passed away peacefully on June 20, 2023. Jackie is survived by her daughters Cynthia A. Jensen and Pamela S. Lannan, their husbands Paul E. Jensen and John Patrick Lannan, 4 grandsons, 2 granddaughters and 4 great grandsons.
Jackie and her late husband Harold (Hank) traveled west from the St Louis, MO area after their wedding in January 1949 looking for a place to relocate that was supportive of Harold’s asthma. They decided to settle in Phoenix following a brief stay in the San Francisco area. Jackie retired from a career in Federal service having worked in administration for the Air Force, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Office Audit of the Internal Revenue Service. After retiring Jackie took up needlepoint, ultimately making more than 15 beautiful Christmas stockings for family and friends among many other items that she often gave away. She loved baseball and was an avid Diamondbacks fan! When not watching baseball or needlepointing, she was reading a book. She enjoyed shopping which supported her love of dressing stylishly even into the later years of her life.
