Jackie Brooks Rothe was an inspiration to many..She was my friend, my sister-in-law and the perfect aunt to my children. so many memories we shared, so much fun we had and a lot of sadness we shared, we were there for each other, always. I miss you Jackie, you were one in a million. RIP dear sister. I pray that When my time comes, I can go with as much dignity as you had.

My sweet mama...I miss you so much! You were my mother and my father as I grew up...my first and longest best friend...my role model and mentor in life and death. You taught me the most important things in life: unconditional love, kindness and compassion, patience and tolerance, dignity and grace in joy and sorrow. Thank you, mama...I love you more!

Jackie taught me how to be a real friend and how to listen when our friendship began over 30 years ago. And she taught me how to be graceful and accepting about the final transition. I'm glad I had the opportunity to say goodbye. She is truly the sister of my heart.

Jackie was an extremely bright and joyful lady. I'm sorry I lost contact with her; we could have had some good laughs talking over old times!

I cannot remember when Jackie wasnt a part of our family. She was my dads love for 24 years and his wife for the last six. She was so brave in her last days worry more about those she was leaving behind than herself. She is gone but will never be forgotten.

I first met Jackie when she married my late brother, Sergeant First Class Jimmy Brooks in 1959. Jimmy and Jackie were making a career of the Army when Jimmy was killed in Vietnam in 1965. Jackie was left with two small children, Terry and Donna. Jackie went on to graduate from the University of West Florida and later went to work with the Pensacola News Journal. She did all of this while raising two small children. What a wonderful story of passion and determination. She was an inspiration to her family and all who knew her. She was a wonderful, loving sister-in-law even after my brother was killed. I will always remember her as a true earth angel who inspired everyone she knew. May you rest in peace dear Jackie as you were a "True Soldier" ! Don Salter

What a wonderful cousin and friend you were! I will never forget our summers together skating at Uncle Jack's rink, playing pirates on the bed, at the beach, at Big Mama's house. So many good times never to be forgotten. Rest in peace until we meet again in that "sweet by and by".

She was one of the greatest women I had the privilege of knowing and of working with at the PNJ. She made us reporters look good when we couldn't do it ourselves. I pray your family will find comfort and peace among your memories.
