Heaven opened its’ pearly gates to welcome Jacqueline “Jackie” Ryan on Monday, January 25, 2021. Jackie entered this world on August 26, 1934 in Danville, Illinois; born to George and Susie (Herb) Roberts. On July 7, 1952 she wed Jack Ryan. From this union were born a daughter Lana Jo and son Timothy. They enjoyed forty-seven years together until his death in November of 1999.
Preceeding Jackie in death was her husband, her parents, and her brother Bill. Surviving her are a daughter Lana (Ken) Kesinger and a son Tim (Paula) Ryan, all of Danville; a sister Sandy (Stewart) Hutchison of Carmel, IN; her grandchildren Ryan Hawkins and Rachel (Jason) Vernia; great grandchildren Macie Hawkins, Lohgan Hawkins, Gracelynn Vernia, and Reilly Greene; and her best friend Bill Rowley.
Jackie devoted her life to her family and home. She loved walking in the newly fallen snow, and she loved her four-legged fur babies Bavon, Mikey and Annie.
