On February 22, 1960, the Lord blessed Mary and Robert Parks with Jacquelyn (AKA “Jackie”), a beautiful baby girl. Jackie attended Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and Adelphian Junior Academy in Holly, Michigan. She married Ernest, the love of her life on June 8, 1986 in Pontiac, Michigan. Their love of singing took them all over the country.
Jackie worked as a phlebotomist at Florida Hospital Orlando before deciding to change careers. She received her LPN degree on July 30, 1992 and her RN degree on June 21, 1994 from Seminole Community College. Jackie enjoyed working as a caregiver in Home Health.
Jackie suffered 2 strokes in May 2017. As her health began to decline, Ernest became her devoted caregiver, doing whatever he could to make her comfortable and happy. On July 4, 2022 she was surrounded by Ernest, family, and friends as she took her last breath, being freed from pain and suffering.
As she awaits the resurrection, she leaves Ernest, her loving and faithful husband of 36 years, to cherish her memory. Her parents and Ernest Howard, Sr., father-in-love, preceded her in death, but she leaves to mourn Julia, her mother-in-love, along with a host of other family members and friends. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus!
