It is with peaceful hearts that we announce the passing of Jacqueline Marie Rael, aged 78, of Loveland, Colorado. Jacqueline passed away gently following her courageous battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
She was the devoted wife of Cloyd Rael, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and beautiful memories. As a loving mother and a cherished grandmother, her family was her greatest joy. Jacqueline leaves behind a legacy of grace, love, and profound peace that will forever be cherished by them and all who knew her.
She is survived by her husband, Cloyd Rael; her daughter Jody Holt and son in law Sam; her daughter Holly Kast; her beloved grandchildren Sam, Hadley, and Jacob; and her sister Annett Fritz and brother-in law James.
