It is with a heavy heart we face the passing of Jacqueline Greenblatt in the early morning hours of Dec.10, 2021, after 85 years of life. She was born on July 29, 1936, and was welcomed in the arms of our creator peacefully in her sleep after a long illness.

Jackie was a loving wife and mother and is survived by George Greenblatt, her devoted husband of 65 years; sons, Bruce and Gary, and daughter, Frannie. She was blessed with three loving grandchildren — Rachel, Michael and Alex; and two great-grandchildren, Lily Grace and Olivia Rose.

In keeping with our Jewish tradition we pray “O Shepherd of Israel, Who dost neither slumber nor sleep, we are the people of Thy pasture and the sheep of Thy hand. Enfold us safely in Thy love. And if in our grief and loneliness and moments of desolation, we should stray from following Thee, O leave us not, faithful Shepherd, but draw us near unto Thee.” Yehi Zichra Baruch. May her memory always be a blessing.

In memory of Jackie Greenblatt, donations are requested to Congregation of Reform Judaism or Hadassah.

Graveside funeral services and interment were held at Congregation of Reform Judaism Cemetery, with Rabbi Steven Engel and Cantor Bryce Megdal officiating.
