STATESBORO, Ga. -- Jacqueline Smith, age 99, passed away on November 1, 2019, under the care of Ogeechee Area Hospice. She was born in Dublin, Ga., to the late Carl and Alma Jackson.
After high school, she moved to Statesboro, where she worked at the Bulloch County Hospital. Soon after, she met and married her late husband, Hubert R. Smith. They moved to the Westside Community, where they raised their family.
Jacqueline was a faithful, loving wife and mother. To her family, she represented the wife described in Proverbs 31. She was an early riser, beginning each day in Bible reading and prayer. She was a faithful prayer warrior, praying daily for anyone who had a need.
Jacqueline was an active member of Pittman Park since the second year it was founded and was involved with the Marie Woods Circle.
She enjoyed china painting, needlepoint, gardening, maintaining her beautiful yard and was an excellent seamstress. She was able to sew children's clothes for her son's medical mission trips to Haiti well into her 90s.
