Jackie is survived by her loving husband of thirty-one years, Jeremy, of the home; two daughters, Ashley Hopson, and her husband, Jesse, and Courtney Strohl, and her husband, Darren, all of Lebanon, Missouri; four grandchildren, Cooper, Zander, Hayden, and Maddox; her mother, Betty Dutile, of Lebanon, Missouri; two brothers, James Dutile, and his wife, Lisa, of Mooresville, North Carolina, and Keith Dutile, and his wife, Jodi, of Bourbon, Missouri; two sisters, Michelle Dutile, of Statesville, North Carolina, and Tabitha Varady, of Lebanon, Missouri; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
She was raised in Lebanon, Missouri, and graduated from Lebanon High School in the Class of 1982. After she and Jeremy were married, they made their home near Lebanon, and lovingly raised their daughters. Jackie was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family and also was the assistant manager of the McDonald’s Restaurant for several years. She currently was employed as a bus driver for the Lebanon R-III Schools for the last twenty-two years, driving Bus # 61.
Jackie had dedicated her life to Jehovah God in 1976, and attended the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Lebanon. Her love for Jehovah and people moved her to devote her life in fulltime service since 1997.
In her spare time she enjoyed baking and decorating cakes for parties, weddings and special occasions. She also liked crocheting, doing craft projects, and playing card games, particularly Sequence, with her friends. She enjoyed watching the Food Network, traveling and sightseeing. She was a kind, caring, and loving person who enjoyed doing things for others. Jackie formed many long lasting friendships and easily made new ones. She was always very loyal to her friends and was always there for them regardless of the personal sacrifice. She enjoyed fashion and liked dressing up and accessorizing her outfits, which included being tanned and manicured. Her family was very special to her and she especially enjoyed having time with her grandchildren.
Jackie was a very loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will truly cherish all the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
A memorial has been established and donations may be left at the funeral home.
