It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Jacqueline Ann Dursma Garner, who left us on July 4, 2026, at the age of 60. Born on October 19, 1965, Jackie was the daughter of the late James G. Dursma.  

Jackie was known for her talents in the arts, from drawings and images, to her music as a talented trumpet player. She had a unique way of living life that fit her many talents. Her joy for life and talents were shared with students as she was a teacher's assistant for many years.  

The melody of Jackie's life will play on in the hearts of her family, including her mother, Phyllis Sievers of Florida; her beloved sister, Cathy Kinnin of North Carolina; her brother, Jamie Dursma, and wife, Amy of Pennsylvania; nephews and nieces, Derrick Dursma, Steven Dursma, and Sarah Dursma, Corey Kinnin and wife, Danyelle, Kelly Kinnin and wife, Jena; great nephews and nieces, Drew Kinnin, Emberley Kinnin, and Jaxon Kinnin; and special friend, Jason Thompson, who cared for Jackie for many years.

A celebration of Jackie’s life will be held on a date to be determined, where family and friends will gather to share stories, reminisce, and honor her legacy. We invite all who loved her to join us as we remember a beautiful soul who touched our lives in countless ways.
