Jacqulin Jean Strickler, age 86, peacefully passed away in Mansfield, Ohio, on Sunday, June 16, 2024, at Primrose Retirement Community of Mansfield under the care of Pathways Hospice with family by her side.
She was born on September 16, 1937, in Rowsburg, Ohio, the daughter of Richard DeWitt and Betty Phelps. She graduated Mansfield Senior High with the class of 1955 and that same year married her beloved husband, David Allen Strickler.
Jackie dedicated 31 years of her life as a Dietician Secretary for Madison Schools. Jackie was deeply religious and found great solace in her Christian faith, often playing gospel music on her phone, sharing her discoveries with others, exclaiming, “Look what I found here.”
Jackie cherished her time cultivating her passions: caring for animals, tending to her garden of flowers, and engaging in crafts like sewing, cross-stitch, and crochet. An avid bingo player, she inherited a love for gambling from her mother and relished family trips to Las Vegas. Her vibrant spirit and love for life will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Jackie is survived by her loving husband of 69 years, David Strickler of Mansfield; her children and their spouses: Tim and Lynnea Strickler of Clermont, FL, Gregory and Rhonda Strickler of Shiloh, OH, and Renee and Rick Hoffman of Mansfield, OH; daughter-in-law Jeffrie Ann Strickler Kissel; grandchildren Nicky Strickler, Ryan Strickler, Jacob Strickler, Jonathon Strickler, Juliann Strickler, Katie Nemes Strickler, Michael Hoffman, Jennifer Ousley, and Jamie Hoffman; numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family, including her sister Terry.
She was preceded in death by her son, Michael David Strickler, her daughter-in-law Kelleen Strickler, her brother Michael Taylor, her father Richard DeWitt, her mother Betty Taylor, stepfather Mervin Taylor, and her parents-in-law David and Helen Strickler.
A graveside service led by Gary Russell will be held 10:00 AM on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at Oak Grove Memorial Park near Lexington where Jackie’s urn will be laid to rest.
