With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of Jacqueline Olbert, affectionately known as “Jackie” or “Auntie Jackie.” Jacqueline departed this life on June 27, 2025, at the age of 66, surrounded by love at Logan Regional Hospital. 

Jackie was a radiant light in the lives of all who knew her a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and cherished friend. She lived her life with extraordinary warmth, compassion, and grace. Her home and heart were always open, and she made everyone feel welcome, heard, and deeply valued. Her love was a shelter and her smile, a comfort.

Jackie dedicated her life to caring for others, proudly serving as a Certified Nursing Assistant for many years. Her nurturing spirit also extended into her passion for modeling and her most treasured role: being a mother and grandmother. Her family was her greatest joy, and her love for them was unconditional and unwavering.

Jackie’s legacy continues through her loving siblings: Robert “Toopie” Knox, Rosalyn Lee Knox, and Felicia Knox, as well as her dear sisters-in-law: Gloria Olbert and Jacqueline Olbert. 

She also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and friends all of whom she loved deeply and who will forever cherish her memory.
