JACQUELINE ANN TIRSCHMANN
They say there are two important dates in your life: the day you are born, and the other one is when you find out why Jacqui and I were born with our purpose to be together. There were so many things that we did together; we planned our dreams together, and we played home and family together. We had a blended family; she had two daughters, Lisa (Buddy) and Mia (Rob); grandchildren, Cheyenne, Cory, Michael, Markus, Gwen, and Gage; and I have three sons, Colin (Ingrid), Kyle, and Cam; and grandkids, Madison and Michael.
I should mention the big heart that Jacqui had. When we were notified by our Aunty Donna’s doctor in Vancouver that, with deteriorating health, she could no longer live on her own. We then had Jacqui and our oldest daughter, Lisa, go down and pack up her apartment and bring her home to live with us. Jacqui, with the help of home care and me, took care of her for six and one half years. We worked on our dreams together and we manifested them into reality. We reached for the stars and visited the moon together, big, colourful and beautiful, bright as life should be.
Jacqui’s parents, John C. Williams and Doris M. Williams, whose marriage was arranged in heaven and performed in England during the Second World War, have both passed on.
Jacqui, I always said, could have been anything in life, as she was very bright. She could have been a doctor or a lawyer. She chose to be a T.A. (Teachers Aid), which was an ideal calling. She excelled at it at several schools, and the last one was O.V. Jewett.
Jacqui had parties with staff from O.V. Jewett at our place, where she entertained all with her hula outfit! She was always the life of the party. We spent 33 years together; you might say a lifetime. Sweetheart, I will not be reading you the obits every day anymore.
We will celebrate your life in about two and one half months, when the pain of losing you will be a little softer. Rest in peace, my love.
Future celebration will be planned around our anniversary on June 29, 2025, or late fall.

My Deepest Sympathy to Don and Families of Jacqui. I met Jacqui at O.V. Jewitt when she was an Educational Assistant. I worked as an Adm. Assistant with Judy Eschuk. Jacqui was great with the students and always willing to lend a helping hand. I still have our Halloween picture of Judy, myself and Jacqui dressed up together. She always had a great smile and was extremely friendly to all. Jacqui rest in peace, you made the world a better place. Sincerely Linda Bakowski - Posted by: Linda Bakowski (Friend) on: Apr 19, 2025
