Jacqueline Edwards Memorial and Children Fund

Hi Everyone,
My name is Alyssa, Jackie’s sister. After a courageous cancer battle, Jacqueline passed away peacefully on September 27th, 2023 at the young age of 45. As you can imagine, this is a gut wrenching outcome that we didn’t expect as she was fighting the good fight and things were seeming promising. I attended most appointments with Jackie and her will to live for her girls was outstanding and inspiring. Jackie was such a light to everyone she shared space with. Reading all the comments of all the people she has touched in her lifetime is a testament to what a sweet amazing human she was. Her smile was infectious and her love for laughter brought joy to any room. As you can imagine even typing this out is hard because it is another reminder that she is no longer here in the physical. Jackie worked so hard to be the best mother for her girls to give them the best life she could. I always watched in awe of her strength and calmness despite any adversity. During her last days, She shared with the girls to continue to live life to the fullest despite whatever the outcome of this was. Her love for the girls was limitless. As many people have reached out to give support to a memorial service and towards the future for the girls, I created this account. All proceeds will be put towards a beautiful celebration of life for my sister and all remainder funds will go towards continuing to create the life my sister sought for her beautiful girls. On behalf of my family, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your contributions, prayers, and support during this extremely difficult time. Thank you.
