Love russ and micki

Jackie I remembered me being a sophomore and all the jr classes and how you helped me and you are just a true friend even in fashion class with me I miss you I miss your smiling face and missed all the positive acrimony she would tell people I just missed the positivity the light you brought but I know that you're always there and still shining bright thank you for making my life so much brighter

The staff of the American Cancer Fund® at www.AmericanCancerFund.org is sorry to hear of Jaclynn’s passing. We have received a memorial donation in her name and our sincere condolences go out to her family.    

It is hard to let a child move on in life we hope we taught them all they need to know. Be a good person, treat others the way you want to be treated, be strong in your beliefs and convictions. But nothing prepares a parent for the loss of a child. Sheila, Michael and Stephen my heart breaks for you. I cannot fathom the hurt and sadness that you all feeling. Please know you are in my prayers always. 


“A special smile, a special face in our hearts, a special place. Memories are a gift to treasure. Ours of you, will last forever.”
I love you Jaclynn. You are so incredibly missed and loved! 💙💙💙 


Jaclynn has always been a true friend to me. I have never met a more beautiful, nor a stronger person. She always made me smile. She treated everyone she met with love and kindness. She was always warm and welcoming, and spreading so much joy wherever she went. I know she touched many lives and will truly be missed. I am thankful for the memories I have with her.
I have been blessed to have met Jaclynn and she will always have a special place in my heart.
With love and sympathy,

Sarah Keenan


More than a cousin, you were my little sister. A ray of light. A warm hug on a gloomy day. Your smile and your laugh were undeniably you; you were a presence.

It’s hard to believe that you’re no longer with us physically; however, the love you have shown will be with our family forever.

From watching Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion numerous times to seeing Britney Spears in concert, to always sitting next to each other at grandma’s on Christmas morning to open gifts. From our days at Santa’s Village (sorry that I ALWAYS got sick!)  to many, many slumber parties. So many great times filled with laughs and love.

Heaven has gained one fabulous angel!

Rest In Peace my dear Jaclynn. Until we see each other again . Love you always.❤️❤️❤️

Last summer I had the pleasure of joining the Kieffer Family on their summer vacation to Upper Cullen. As we left to go play mini golf, Sarah and I jumped into the back of Mike’s  car as Jaclynn took the front seat. As Mike drove his car *** mph with the windows down, Sarah and I laughed as Jacclyn excitedly yelled, “Body roll it, Baby! Body roll it!” We made it to mini golf in absolute record time. As we got out of the car, I told Sarah, “There is no one more perfect to be with Mike, than Jaclynn. They are literally made to be with eachother.” There is nothing more true, Mike and Jaclynn were crazy in love and completely and utterly made for one another.  This memory, as well as every memory of Jaclynn, is that of complete joy. Her uniquely positive and bubbly personality shined through her beautiful smile and laughter. She was such a genuinely kind woman who brought so much light to this amazing world. She was an absolute angel when she was with us, now that she has gained her wings, her light will shine brightly down on all of her family, friends, and Mike through this difficult time. Rest In Peace, Jaclynn. 

"To get through the hardest journey we must take one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping". Jaclynn was a strong, beautiful soul, with a smile to never forget. Cherish her memories forever and let her help guide you through the hard times, she would want you to be strong and as fearless as she was.

Dear Mike, 

I miss a lot of things for the military, but missing your wedding is a huge regret of mine. After seeing the pictures, hearing the stories, and the smile on your faces, I knew you truly found joy.  Nobody can take that memory of joy away, and although it wasn’t nearly long enough, you still shared that with Jaclynn. She will be missed but remembered, and you will always be part of our family and welcome into our home. We won’t forget Jaclynn and the joy she gave you. I have no doubt that she is in a better place looking down on you with peace. 

Jaclynn was always smiling, always happy to see us, and I will miss hearing her yell “Maverick!” Every time she saw me haha. 

I hope you find the peace and happiness that she has right now. 

Jaclynn you are a blessing to our family.  Michael and all of us loved your humor, laughter and passion for life.  You touched so many lives in such a short time- amazingly loving lady!  I pray today that you found comfort and peace in heaven- know you have. We all miss you dearly and will forever be grateful and treasure our shared times. God bless and hold you close - love you sweetie.

Jaclynn has a light that will shine in our memories forever. She had the ability to put a smile on my brothers face like no one else could and made him the happiest man in the world. She fought like a warrior, and never gave up. She found a way to stay positive even in the worst situations. I'm proud to call her my sister for all the smiles, laughs and great memories she has brought to our family and anyone who had the privilege of knowing her.♡

I worked with Jaclynn in Rochester and her smile was so infectious and she had a way of making everybody around her happy even if they were in the worst mood, her and I would always laugh and joke and make up stupid songs about boots and sweaters (a Minnesotans official winter uniform) we would have really great talks when I would bring her home. To Jaclynn’s family and friends I am so very very sorry for your loss❤️ Sending love and light to you 🌼 may she Rest In Peace 

Jaclynn’s Song

Your smile set our world on fire
A spirit so bright and full of desires 
You set your goals and hit each mark
You have always been a spark

No one or thing could stop your will not even the physical chains which sometimes kept you still

The intent was sent from high above 
He knew you had the capacity to share your message of Love

To young 
You should have had more time
To young
You will always be in our hearts 
And in our minds 

~For Jaclynn~
Love you my beautiful cousin 💕

Mike and family I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Jaclynn. I remember Ryan king and me sat next to you and Jaclynn at Jamie and Madison’s wedding. I didn’t really know anyone at the time but Jaclynn talked to me and made me feel like I was part of the group! I am glad that I got to met her and know how special she is. 

We have so many memories with Jaclynn and Mike. The ones I always remember are during the summer when everyone is laughing and having a good time. I'll always remember those lazy summer days of floating down the river and the late nights we spent dancing. Jaclynn and I somehow convinced both Jamie and Mike to join us on the dance floor (for more than one song!). Some of the best memories we had with Jaclyn were not captured on a camera, but they were captured in our hearts. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who knew and loved Jaclynn.

So proud of the beautiful and loving woman you became.  One of the things I will remember is your great smile. 
You will be forever in our hearts.💜

My condolences to your loving family. Your family holds a special place in my heart.  Prayers for all of them during this very difficult time.

May you Rest In Peace with the angels & our Lord.🙏

Jaclynn's beautiful light will shine forever,a beautiful soul, her smiles giggles and silliness will be missed. I will cherish the memories we have made. 

Sweet Jaclynn,

I met you in training at Roccos. I got to spend every day 5 days a week working with you. Our work friendship turned into an actual friendship. I could tell u just about anything without feeling judged. You brought so much light into my life at times when I needed it the most. I can’t thank you enough for that. You always put everyone before you. You truly were an angel living on this earth. Your kind caring nature, your sweet smile, your compassion for everyone else will never be forgotten. You showed people how to love, how to laugh, how to be optimistic on the darkest of days. I am going to miss you so much girl. I’m sorry I couldn’t say goodbye. Love you forever my dearest friend. 

May God's loving kindness and comfort help you and your family during this time of sorrow (2 Corinthian 1:3,4).

You were just a 15 year old girl when we met.
you didn't know then how special you were.  Your smile lit up a room. We watched you grow into a beautiful young woman, whose smile turned into a presence that lit up a room. You  will always be a bright light in our lives, a beautiful butterfly who flew away too soon.   Our hearts are broken and words can never capture the sorrow in our hearts. With deepest sympathy to the Elmeerebi and Kieffer families...Russ and Micki Schlosser

Dear Sheila, Michael, Steven, and Michael,
I was Steven’s English teacher at Harper College and my daughter Sarah was Jaclynn’s friend. I want to extend my deepest sympathies and sorrow for the loss of your lovely Jaclynn, a wonderful human being. Steven often talked very fondly and with a lot of love about his family especially his sister Jaclynn.

You have and will always have my thoughts and prayers and those of our entire family.

God Bless you and be with you.

Mary Keenan

Jaclynn, your light will shine in our memories forever. You will be always loved and never forgotten. Mom Dad Sarah

Dearest Sheila, Michael, Steven and Michael, 

My heart goes out to you all during this difficult time and always.  Jaclynn’s light and energy touched my soul and I am forever changed by her presence in my life. She will forever be remembered and always in my heart. Her smile was extremely contagious and stuck with you if you were lucky enough to receive it, I say “receive” because; Jaclynn offered her smile as a “gift” and it truly was just that. 
When in the company of Jaclynn with her Mother, Father and Brother I was often moved by there closeness and true bond as a family. It was beautiful to see them interact with each other; wheather, they were joking or offering a comforting embrace, their love was present and beautiful. 
I look at the photos of Jaclynn and her husband Mike and I see the love they share with each other and I know they were meant to have shared time and space together. I know Jaclynn was extremely proud to be called Mrs. Kieffer. 

I was blessed to be your cousin Jaclynn, I love you and I will always keep you in my heart. 

Love,
Camille Castellanos

I remember when I first met you in highschool in fashion class. You always have joy and a perfect smile your face everyday. You made class not class but fun and Lively. Your not gone your still here with every sun rays that touch the ground with the rain drops. With the wind blowing I feel you all around us. 

Rest in everything that we do. You will never be forgotten. 

Love,

Jaclynn, 
I only knew you for a short time, just a few years. From the first time we met at Roccos you were always the most positive in the room. You had this special talent of seeing through someone's fake smile on a bad day and could cheer up anyone. 
I hope I can be more like you one day. You will be missed deeply. 



To one of the sweetest, kindest, and most genuine people I know. Stay bright and bring joy to every soul you cross paths with. From the moment I met you in High School Freshman year, you have been showering me with positive words and support.  I will miss you dearly you wonderful human <3

Gathering of Friends and Family

Jaclynn will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by her Husband, Michael; Parents, Michael and Sheila El- Mereebi; Brother, Steven El- Mereebi; two Nephews; many extended Family and Friends.
