Jacqueline Lois “Jackie” Pecha, age 87, died Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at Care Partners Assisted Living under the care of LeRoyer Hospice and her family.

Jackie was a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Polar, where she was active as a Sunday school teacher and helped with meals at the church. Her faith was her guide and most definitely contributed to her ever positive character.
Jackie was a nature lover who loved her country home. She enjoyed walks through the woods, downhill and cross country skiing, snowmobiling, golfing and horseback riding. She was a wonderful baker. She was a Green Bay Packer and Elvis Presley fan. Jackie was a loyal friend and she dearly treasured her lifelong friendships. She very much loved her children and grandchildren and was quick to remind them that she was “rough and tough and hard to bluff”.

She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband and parents, Jackie was preceded in death by a daughter Marcia Pecha and 2 brothers; Rodney and Don Hix.
Funeral services will be held on Friday at 12:00 noon at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Polar. Visitation will be from 10:00 AM until the service at the church. Vicar Pam Werth will officiate. Interment will be in St. John’s Lutheran Church Cemetery.
The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Care Partners Assisted Living, LeRoyer Hospice and Rosalia Gardens for the loving care given to Jackie.
