Jackie was my sister in law. Absolutely the most kind, comical, sweetest person to have touched my life. She was truly an amazing person, she was one of those people that never met a stranger. Loved our visits to her house and totally loved her visit to Texas. She was always there for me when I needed medical or personal advice. She will be missed, I love you Jack! Always and Forever, I Carry You in My Heart!
I became acquainted with Jackie when we were both nurses at River District Hospital in St Clair. Jackie always had a smile. Jackie was a hard worker. Jackie was a fantastic nurse, and I loved her sarcastic humor. Jackie absolutely loved each and everyone of her kids. She always bragged about them all. Jackie went through a lot in her life. But she always seemed to get through it and didn’t let any grass grow under her feet. As life went on, Jackie and I saw each other again in a different world. She was a volunteer for Hospice. She came to my door as a sitter to give me a break when my grandmother was at my home dying from cancer …when I saw her at the door I had such a relief because I knew she was dependable and solid, and would do whatever it took to help us in our hospice journey. When she came to the door to say that she was the hospice sitter. I instantly. started crying because in the moment I knew that I could get a break and sleep and I knew my grandma was in the best hands God could’ve ever provided to me. I’m so thankful for her, helping us through that part of our life, she will forever be in my heart. God bless her, and I hope she how’s that peace that she’s so deserves..❤️
I became acquainted with Jackie when her former husband worked at Silk’s flower shop. I also have good memories of several others in the Kane family. I was just speaking with Nephew Rich about her in the last couple of weeks! I’m sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to the entire family.

In 1985 I lost my job at Mercy Hospital Port Huron and Jackie had her full time hours cut. We both went on to get our RN and were in the same class. We spent many hours together studying for exams. Jackie was so kind always, and we had a lot of laughs. We were successful in the RN program and moved on with our lives. We lost track of each other over the years but I never forgot her and our study sessions. Rest in Peace Jackie. Gone but not forgotten.
We loved you Grandma Jackie! You were always like another grandma to all of the Kase kids and were so special to us all. I hope you’re resting peacefully 💜
