Passed away peacefully the night of December 28th surrounded by love. 

Born on August 1st, 1965, in Sudbury, the youngest daughter of Aline and Michael Roche. She was an unmistakable Roche girl from her hometown of Onaping, and was adored and loved by her siblings Eileen, Karen, Mary and Bryan. 

Jackie was a beloved mother to her children, Kent and Brianne, who she called her life’s biggest accomplishments, and was oh so proud of. 

Jackie was a nurse whose care and love for those in need knew no bounds. 

A lover of good music, beautiful lakes, her backyard oasis, and above all else, sharing a laugh with her loved ones. She was gentle and fierce. A person whose laugh and smile could brighten any moment. 

She is finally at peace and sharing a long-awaited dance with the love of her life Leigh. 

Jackie left the world a better place, and we feel lucky to have been loved by her. 

Visitation will be held at Fawcett Funeral Home on Friday January 3rd from 2-4 pm and from 6-8 pm. Please feel free to wear a pop of colour, it was at her request!

She requested in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation, so she can continue to support families that need her love. Friends may visit Jackie’s online Book of Memories at www.fawcettfuneralhomes.com
