Services were held on Friday, April 29, at the Belmond United Methodist Church, with Pastor Mike Druhl officiating. Burial was in the Belmond Cemetery. The Dugger Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements.
Jackie, the daughter of Leroy and Dorothy Kemmis Drake, was born on July 10, 1946 in Battle Creek, Michigan. She graduated from the Battle Creek Central High School in 1964. Jackie married her high school sweetheart, Joe Williamson, on September 18, 1965. They made their home in Battle Creek and started a family. Jackie worked at the Cut Rate Grocery Store and operated an in-home daycare service. In 1983, Joe and Jackie moved to Belmond, following work for the Eaton Corporation. Jackie worked in various capacities. In addition to caring for young children in her home, she worked at Printing Services in Belmond and volunteered at the Lyric Theater. Jackie’s favorite job, though, was caring for her children and grandchildren and following their activities.
She enjoyed golfing, bowling, ping pong and playing cribbage. She loved her Shih Tzu Stinky. Jackie was a member of the Belmond Country Club and the Belmond United Methodist Church.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and her life-long love, husband, Joe.
Jackie is survived by her children, Stacy (Dave) Rooney of Center Point and Jeff (Jessica) of Belmond; grandchildren, Logan, Drake, Colten, Shania, Alex and Camryn; sister, Sandy (Ron) Jones of Battle Creek; brother, Jerry (Shirley) Drake of Battle Creek; niece, Kelly (Scot) Lenz of Battle Creek; and nephew, Kurt (Rosa) Jones of Raleigh, North Carolina.
