- Jacqueline (Jackie) Teresa VanDaalwyk left us for something better where she could find eternal peace on Wednesday, April 20, 2011. To say our hearts are broken and she will be missed is minimal. Jackie was born, raised and attended school in Appleton, Wis. She was the eldest of three children.
Noogs left Appleton to live in Hawaii for a couple of years and then settled in Knoxville, Tenn., for eight years to be near her family and live a new adventure. Jackie loved to travel the world and wanted very much to settle down some day with a husband and children.
Jackie loved the Smokey Mountains and said she felt God's presence there. Jackie and her brother, Jay, loved to hike the mountains, go spelunking and enjoy nature. Jackie enjoyed volunteering for the Special Olympics and battered women's shelters in both Appleton and Tennessee. She was a giver to everyone she touched and was genuine in her love for them. Jackie's love was felt by many people.
Two special loves were Ben and David, for whom she felt deeply. Jackie also made several special friendships with Alissa, Amber, Tara, Andy and Shaun and literally too many others to list. Family and friends, along with Goose, were very important to Jackie and her love for her two brothers, Jason and Jake, and her parents was very deep. Jackie was happy she had the time to spend Thanksgiving with her entire family last year and had the opportunity to see her "Appleton" friends as well.
Jackie is survived by her father, Patrick VanDaalwyk; mother, Lynn VanDaalwyk and Cary Daniel; her brother, Jason VanDaalwyk; her youngest brother, Jacob Vandaalwyk; and her sister-in-law, Rosalind (Korf) VanDaalwyk, Jacob's wife. Jackie is also survived by two grandparents, Ceil (Mrs. Jacob) VanDaalwyk and Joyce Feyen-Anderson and her husband, Andy; numerous aunts and uncles, Ruth and Joe Kunkel, Jennifer (Feyen) Igo, Jon Feyen and Diane Boyd, Emily and Bob Zupan, Alan and Debbie Feyen, Jamie and Connie Feyen, Grant and Emily Feyen, Dave VanDaalwyk, Mike VanDaalwyk, Kathy and Mike Vosters, John and Nancy VanDaalwyk, Mary VanDaalwyk and Bill and Kelly VanDaalwyk. In addition, Jackie has left behind many cousins, Jessie Allison, Jordan Dietz, Sam Dietz, Sydnee Dietz, Brook Feyen, Lexi Feyen, Trevor Feyen, Marcus Feyen, Emily VanDaalwyk and fiance, Carl Braun, Dan VanDaalwyk and family, Jill and Riley King, Scott and Kristen Vosters, Amanda Manka, Terry Manka, Sara VanDaalwyk, Chad VanDaalwyk, Brian and Mya VanDaalwyk, Patrick VanDaalwyk and Janson VanDaalwyk.
Waiting for Jackie on the other side are those who have passed before her including her two grandfathers, Jacob VanDaalwyk and Curtis Feyen; her uncle, Scot Feyen; her great-grandparents, along with several close friends and thousands of Angels.
Jackie will be brought home to Appleton this week. Funeral arrangements are pending. There will be a visitation and Mass in Appleton for Jackie. A full and complete obituary will appear in a forthcoming edition of The Post-Crescent.
Be with God Noogs, you are never alone or forgotten and forever loved.
