Jacquelyn Westerfield Edmonds died peacefully at Norris Health and Rehab Center in Andersonville, TN. She grew up in Owensboro, KY where she often sang duets at church with her twin sister, Nathie. After meeting her husband, Tom, at the University of Kentucky, she relocated to Northern Kentucky where raised her family. Jacque and her husband later lived in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for over twenty years before moving to East Tennessee to be closer to family.
Jacque will be remembered best for her vivacious smile, friendly demeanor, infectious laugh, and eternal optimism. She was an expert quilter, enjoyed working jigsaw puzzles, crocheting, and for a time was the co-owner of a seamstress shop. She loved to search for "treasures" at thrift stores and flea markets, restore her finds, and sell them on the internet. While she worked a variety of interesting jobs, her primary passion was always being a wonderful mother, supportive wife, and caring friend. All who knew her were better for it.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Evalee Whitmer Westerfield; sister, Nathelyn Westerfield Jaye.
