Jacquelyn Watson

May 27, 1928 – March 10, 2009

Jacquelyn Watson, “Jackie” as she was

known to her friends and family passed

away peacefully on March 10, 2009

in Sierra Madre, CA. Jackie leaves

behind her daughter, Sandi Thomas

of Monrovia, her son and daughter in

law, Dusty and Debby Watson of Costa Mesa, her brother, Bill

Butler of Stockton, and her three granddaughters, Alex, Kayti

and Jessica along with many friends.

Jackie was a long time resident of Balboa, CA and friends

and family will always remember her love of the beach and all

things tropical. Her house was always surrounded by cascading

plants and bright flowers that she so loved and nurtured. She

loved walking her dog each day along the sidewalk on Balboa

Boulevard or driving her red Mercedes (always with the top

down), Frank Sinatra playing on the radio.

Jackie loved people, and never failed to make a stranger her

friend. She loved her kids fiercely and was always the first to say

“I love you” each time we would part. We will miss her always,

but will remember her loving, free spirit and vibrant ways for

the rest of our lives.

Services will be held on Monday, March 30, 2009 at 1:30 p.m.,

Mountain View Cemetery, 2400 N. Fair Oaks Avenue, Alta

Dena, CA. A celebration of her life will follow in Sierra Madre

at the home of friends located at 100 Suffolk, Sierra Madre.
