Jackie and my brother, Ray Bettencourt were married 6 years ago in Yuma Arizona surrounded by their many friends in Yuma. I stood up for my brother and Jackie. She was like a sister to me. We had many fun times when they would come to Doheney Park in their motorhome, in Dana Point California, near my home in Laguna Beach. We had many barbecues. Jackie's hobby was sewing, crocheting, and needlecraft. I have many mementoes of her handiwork, napkin holders, towels that button around the handle on my kitchen stove, We had sibling gatherings in Fort Bragg, California. I remember that Jackie had never been fishing in the ocean before. When my two brothers chartered a fishing boat, Jackie went with them. She outfished them by catching the biggest salmon! I have those pictures and many others of our times together. I remember Jackie telling me she became a nurse when her son became a paraplegic because of an accident. She was a dear person and we will miss her so much. My heart goes out to her family in Iowa. Posted by Beverly Holt - Laguna Beach California, CA - Sister-In-Law July 26, 2013
