Jaci is survived by her mother, Sandra; her two children, Cassidy and Cole; her sister, Linda, and niece, Morgan; her beloved grandchildren, Braiden and Owen; and her life partner, Jim. As well as numerous aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends who cared for her deeply.

Jaci was born in Everett, Wash., Nov. 12, 1960. She was raised in Granite Falls, Wash. After living in Everett for most of her young adult life, she finally found her home on Whidbey Island.

In 2013, Jaci relocated with Jim to Casa Grande, Ariz., where they shared a love for the desert sun and motorcycle rides. Together, they managed an RV resort where they were loved and appreciated by all of the residents. To commemorate Jaci’s life, the residents came together to plant a lime tree and a grapefruit tree with memorial plaques so she will never be forgotten.

Jaci’s independence and free spirit made her who she was. She lived her life on her terms. Jaci was most proud of her children and grandchildren, and she loved them fiercely. She had a marvelous sense of humor and loved to laugh. Jaci had a gift for storytelling and finding the humor in life.

Please join us to celebrate Jaci’s life at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 21, at the American Legion.

Jaci was loved immensely and will be missed by all who knew her.
