Jackie Orth

No one has ever made me laugh like Jackie could make me laugh! Her quick wit, no-holds-barred personality was pure light. The void left by her passing is going to be devastating, especially for her family. My heart aches from her absence, and feels joy for having known her, at all. Shall each of us, in some way, let her live on in us. RIP Jackie. Sending peace and comfort for her family and friends. Angee

Jackie was the last one of us to come to this earth and now the first to leave. She arrived unexpectedly into this world. A second born twin that we had no idea was coming until the actual second she was born. Jackie lived that way always doing things on her own time and in her own way. She was a force that you always would notice in a room that would stand out. She was fashionable to a fault and always knew the latest cooking, decorating and fashion trends. Jackie was the 7th born and as part of a large family – 9 in a household, you learn that you speak up or you get over run. She certainly did not have a problem expressing her opinion. Nadine and Joe’s band of seven kids will miss her greatly but she will always be a part of us. We have grown over the years to make sure everyone is doing fine and band together when the need does arise. We were honored to have you as a sister I have to say that Nadine ( mom) has you right were she wants you right by her side to watch over you again. Our Twelve Days of Christmas family performance will never be the same without you. Hugs and kisses until we are together again. Next time hopefully not in a small house on a dead end street where we started. They were best of times would not trade them for anyone else’s childhood.

I love you Jackie, I will miss you dearly.

I was always proud to call you my sister. I will never forget the grasshopper incident of ’84, me giving you your first set of stitches because I couldn’t tag you, the first set of stitches you gave me when Santa (Joey) was at the door, the Halloween party in ’92, the New York trip with Tania, when you knocked out my tooth because you suck at Mario, the attack of the owls, our birthday party at Aunt Veras, getting scared of the shadow while playing clue, you ruining moms new white carpet when we snuck in snow cones, running to mom and dad’s room during lighening storms and thinking we’d get zapped, the water baloon fight where we broke Steve’s new TV, splitting 2 oz of pop, fishing with Dad, getting my head bobbled while playing indoor volleyball, alligator bag with John, finding out what’s behind Steve’s poster, sneaking to Grand Prix, the fierce Uno games, cooking with Janice while you got mad because we didn’t follow the recipe, and many more. I’ll see you soon. In the meantime subliminally yell at Charlie to behave, Lauren to stop whining, and Ava, Shawn, and Sammy to shut up

My condolences to the Orth family.

Aunt Jackie, I will miss you. I wish I could have said goodbye. You left us too soon. You always made me laugh no matter what…always had a great performance for “Lords a Leaping” and stealing the best white elephant gift. Always loved your style too. I know you are with Grandpa and Grandma now. Rest in Peace. -Jess

To my beautiful friend, You will be missed…….

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jackie’s friends and family. May God hold you in His arms and give you comfort.

Jackie – We are forever grateful to you. It was at your wedding that Terry and I met and now celebrate 15 years together and a beautiful family of 5. We loved your spirit…..your honesty, your fashion, your cooking, your timeless beauty, and your kindness. I loved calling you every year and singing you Happy Birthday….I loved that you loved my Marilyn Monroe version. I will always remember the fun we had…the Halloween parties, the trip to New York, and just hanging out at your house. Eugenie loved when you would yell at her…..she finally met her match in you. You will be so greatly missed. I will remember your laugh, our good times and memories, and you will always be in our hearts. Love you dear friend. Tania and Terry Cole, Peeter, Eugenie, and Pippa

My condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Jackie. I first met Jackie through my cousin, Shannon. Jackie came in the room shining, laughing with a little sass on the side. I immediately understood why my cousin loved her so! I will miss you sweet girl! Very blessed to have been with you for a lot of laughs and a few shenanigans! Watch over my cousin and let her know you are there when she needs you. Jackie, know you are loved and cherished by your son, husband, family and friends. We will all miss you until we meet again. -Lisa

To my friend that always told me to hang in there, to keep my chin up, and that I was loved. I miss your frantic calls of what you can make next with all the home grown tomatoes. I will miss you, but I know you are there still to listen.

Jackie, i remember how close we were in Jr. High, we always had so much fun and then we moved to maize and i ended up going to maize high school, but still hung out w some of my friends from Jr. High and you were one of them. After graduation, Mark and i moved to Florida for almost 11 yrs and then we moved back and even though we found eachother on fb, we never got the chance to hang out or even talk, but i never believed that you would be taken so young and if i would have, i would have made sure to get together with you and catch up. You always made me laugh and we got ourselves in trouble a few times when i stayed the night at your house and when you stayed at mine, but nothin too crazy. You were so much fun. I remember the days at entertainment plus and grand prix game room. You made everyone laugh and that beautiful smile of yours lit up any room when you walked into it. I dont know the circumstances of your passing, i just seen it on fb today. I really wish i could have seen you and got to catch up with you before the Lord called you home. Hopefully i will get to see you on the other side. I have no doubts you are there with your loved ones that were there before you. I miss you, you were a very special person. One of a kind and you will be missed. So im just gonna say, see you later from Mark and myself, and your family is in our prayer’s. R. I. P. My friend…..😪❤

Jackie was a dear friend and will be missed by me and my family. She made everyday a brighter one for me and my wife. We’ll see you in Heaven one day. Our condolences for Scott and her entire family.
