Jacqueline is survived by her brother, John Willett of Culpeper, Virginia; sister, Christa Robinson of Clearwater, Florida; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Dan Willett.
One of the most beautiful aspects of Jackie’s life was her ability to see the world in a different, often more beautiful light. She had a way of noticing the small things that many of us overlook – the sharing of a cup of ice cream with her mom, loving her pet cat “ Queenie” with her sister, just being ornery with her 2 brothers, going on day trips with friends at the home, the joy of a song or the comfort of a familiar routine.
Jackie’s journey was not without its challenges. But through each obstacle, she showed us what true resilience looks like. She approached every day with a bravery and a strength that belied her vulnerabilities. Jackie’s life story is not one defined by special needs, but rather by special abilities – the ability to love unconditionally, to overcome adversity, and to impact the lives of others in the most profound ways. Her legacy is one of resilience, joy, and an unspoken reminder of the inherent value and potential in each of us.
