With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of our beloved Jackie on November 11, 2026, a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, sister, and friend. Jackie lived a beautiful life rooted in faith, guided by compassion, and dedicated to serving others.

Jackie is survived by her loving husband, Roger Wood, and their three daughters, Valerie, Andrea, and Christina, who were blessed by her unwavering love, wisdom, and guidance. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Ethan, Chloe, Adriane, Jack, Quinn, Vivienne, and Theodore, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

Born to Ben and Betty Hodges, Jackie grew up surrounded by family and carried those values of love, faith, and generosity throughout her life. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Benny and Jim, and is survived by her loving siblings, Susan, Dee, and Jerry.

A dedicated pharmacist, Jackie spent her professional life caring for others. Her compassion extended far beyond her career. With a servant’s heart and a deep commitment to her Christian faith, she participated in medical mission trips around the world, offering her knowledge, time, and kindness to those in need. She believed that faith was not simply something to profess, but something to live through acts of love and service.

Jackie had a remarkable gift for making others feel welcomed, valued, and cared for. Her generosity knew no boundaries, and her kindness touched countless lives. Whether through her work, her missions, her friendships, or the everyday moments shared with family, she gave freely of herself and expected nothing in return.

Above all, Jackie’s greatest legacy is the love she shared with her family and the faith she carried throughout her life. She leaves behind a beautiful example of what it means to live with grace, humility, compassion, and an open heart.

Though she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing that her earthly journey has ended and she has been welcomed into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior.

Her life was a blessing, her love was a gift, and her faith will remain an inspiration to all who knew her.
