| Published December 23rd, 2020 | Jackie Reising | | | | | On Monday, Nov. 9, Jacqueline Jewell Reising passed away at the age of 82 in Walnut Creek, Calif. Jackie was born in Gary, Indiana to Pauline and Edward Jewell, the eldest of three children. She was a loving mother of three and took great pleasure in being a doting grandmother. Jackie now reunites with her late husband Paul Reising, after 49 years of marriage. While they lived all across the country together, they considered Moraga, Calif., their home.
Jackie was the consummate entertainer, the woman with never-ending recipes and menus. A meal at her house was never to be forgotten. She had a passion for volunteering and was active in service organizations, including the Moraga Women's Society, Garden Club and Diablo Assistance League. She will be remembered as a class act-a charming, caring, intelligent woman who loved her family around her.
She is survived by her brother, Richard, her children, Patti, Jenny, and John, and her six loving grandchildren, Kendall, Rachel, Jake, Shannon, Nicole, and Olivia.
She was preceded in death by her husband Paul and her brother, Robert.
A gathering will be held in her honor when it is safe to do so. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Diablo Assistance League. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
