Jacqueline Aytes Memorial Fund

It is with deep sadness that we share the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Jacqueline Aytes, a mother, sister, veteran, and an inspiration to so many. Jacqueline was a Marine who served her country with pride, but beyond her service, she was a warrior in every sense of the word. Her strength, perseverance, and love were unwavering, even as she faced life’s toughest battles, including cancer. Jacqueline grew up in Gary, Indiana, and was a devoted mother to her three children, raising them with unconditional love and grace. She was a strong and forgiving woman who touched the lives of everyone around her, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know her. Her heart was vast, and her love knew no bounds. This unexpected loss has placed a heavy financial burden on her family as they navigate funeral and burial expenses. We are asking for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution will go toward helping the family honor Jacqueline’s life and legacy in a way that reflects the strength and love she gave to others. Thank you for your generosity, love, and prayers. Jacqueline’s memory will live on in all of us—in the strength she embodied and the love she shared.
