I met Jackie on the HMCS Nipigon. She was part of the first group of women on the Destroyers. Her incredible work ethic, always positive attitude, and friendly demeanor was a ray of sunshine to the rest of us. Despite the harsh work environment of those old boiler rooms, she was able to handle the workload and more than eager to do everything required for her trade. She was definitely a trailblazer at that time.
What a positive and pleasant human being!
Rest in peace sailor.
Your friend,
John Singer

I remember having dinner on the Nipigon. It was Newfie night and Jackie was eating cod. She was busy at the task of picking through the fish and had separated two piles. I asked her what she was doing and she replied picking out the worms. To this day in restaurants I always ask, what type of fish the fish and chips are? Cod have never been past these lips since that day over 30 years ago. Far winds and following seas.

I did not know her personally but she stayed with us prior to her last few days. Very quiet, pleasant lady. One thing I will remember about our brief friendship is that now matter how uncomfortable she felt she always had a smile on her face when I spoke with her.
Godspeed Jackie.

It is with a very heavy heart that I learned of Jacqueline's passing. I've only known Jacqueline for a short time, but during that short time she certainly left a big impression on me. When I first met her she was fast into the process of cutting up celery to make a pot of homemade soup. She had several large bowls of wild apples fermenting on the island. She was using the apples to make natural medicines to help with some of her ailments.
She was doing all this despite the fact that her home had suffered a chimney fire . The fire had rendered her furnace unusable. The fire and loss of heating didn't seem to bother her too much. With only two small electric space heaters and temperatures in her home near freezing she was pushing through the intense pain of her illness to cook soup and make natural medicines....She never stopped!
She may have been small in stature but she was certainly big on life! She loved the outdoors and lived nature. Despite her health concerns and subsequent diagnosis she still tried her level best to push forward for a simple natural lifestyle that she enjoyed so much.
Simply knowing her helped reinforce an age old idea. We are often concerned and influenced by things we view a "big things" in life. We let these things influence our lifestyle and stress levels. At the end of the day its often the simple "little things" in life that matter most of all. Jacqueline certainly enjoyed the little things!
She reminds me of a saying I've sometimes heard. It goes like this: Life is not about the number of breaths we take.... life is about the number of moments that take our breath away!
It has been my absolute privilege to have known her. I hope she finds the love and the peace she so very much deserves.
To Jacqueline's family and friends, please accept my most sincere condolences for your tremendous loss!
With Sympathy:
Wilfred Chaulk

I have only known Jacqueline for a short period of time but she sure has left a big impression.
She was strong willed but with a very kind heart.
Her memory will live on in the hearts of the people who knew her. I will think of her often especially when in the woods as she loved to be there so much. She dreamed of living off grid, I guess she is off grid now.
Rest easy my friend!
Sending sincere condolences to all her family and friends.

Jackie was such a sweetheart. She will be missed by anyone who knew her. I remember her sweet little face when she would come into Nan Cashin's store; she was so quiet and shy. Nan loved her so much, as did we all. Such a tragic loss. RIP, Jackie. Condolences to the family.
