April 4, 1954 – August 7, 2025

In Loving Memory of Jackie Dean Martin

Jackie Martin, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully with her three devoted daughters by her side. Born on April 4, 1954, Jackie lived a life filled with love, laughter, and an appreciation for the simple but beautiful things in the world around her.

Jackie had a gentle spirit and a green thumb that could make anything grow. She found joy in tending her gardens, caring for her plants, and watching flowers bloom under her careful hands. She loved the peace of a quiet fishing trip and the unconditional companionship of her faithful dogs. Her home was never without the cheerful chatter of her treasured bird, Bruno, whose songs brightened her days.

Jackie also had a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature’s treasures, especially rocks. She loved the thrill of hunting for them, each stone telling a story, each one unique, just like the moments she cherished in life.

She is survived by her loving daughters Beverly (Richard) Garlets, Shelley (Buddy) Simmons, and Verna (Harold) Jones, as well as her grandchildren Ashley Vallow, Erica (Trey) Burch, Skyler (Hailey) Chavez, Seth (Brittany) Jones, Haley (James) Brady, Alisha (Colton) Resigner, Tiffany (Drew) Bailey, Trey Simmons and 15 great-grandchildren, each of whom carry a piece of her heart. Jackie’s family was her greatest treasure, and she poured her love into every hug, every shared story, and every moment spent together.

Jackie is preceded in death by her brother Butch and her precious baby boy, Shawn Wayne. Though she will be deeply missed here on earth, her family finds comfort in knowing she is now in the arms of her sweet Shawn, rocking him at last in the peace of Heaven.

Her life was a testament to kindness, resilience, and the beauty of a nurturing soul. Jackie’s love will continue to bloom in the hearts of all who knew her, just as the flowers she tended so lovingly will continue to grow.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date
