Jacqueline “Jackie” M. Wilson (née Roch) passed away peacefully on May 2nd, preceded in death by her parents, William and Verna Roch, and her brother, William Roch, Jr.
She is the beloved wife of Patrick J. Wilson; loving mother of Angie (Alan) Sylvan, Tim (Erin) Wilson, and Niki (Justin) Lee; cherished grandmother of Lexi and Chase Sylvan, and Ana, Nate, and Katie Wilson. She was also a devoted aunt, greataunt, sisterinlaw, and cousin.
Jackie dedicated more than 45 years to serving as a catechist in the School of Religion at Mary, Mother of the Church. She also worked for the Webster Groves School District, evaluating the developmental progress of preschool students with care and insight.
For over 30 years, Jackie volunteered as a neighborhood cookie manager for the Girl Scouts of Greater St. Louis, supporting countless troops and families. She was especially proud of her more than 40 years as editor of her parish newsletter, a role through which she built community and kept parishioners connected. She and her husband, Pat, led the Marriage Encounter Community at Mary Mother of the Church for many years.
Jackie’s life was defined by service, faith, and deep love for her family. She will be remembered for her kindness, compassion, and her gentle, playful spirit. She loved her family, friends, chocolate, elephants, music, and dancing.

Pat I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Jackie once but was impressed on how friendly she was to me and my wife Jamie.
I am sure Jackie is in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ and Jamie and I are praying for you that your grief will be bearable.
I am sorry that I won’t be able to attend the wake because I will be out of town that week but we will make a donation to the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Jackie’s honor.
Pat,
So sorry to hear about your loss. You and Jackie were great neighbors, great M.E. buddies, and your loss will be felt and shared by many MMOC “old-timers” like us. Please accept our deepest condolences.

Jackie , so many will be lifting you in prayer as you enter into your final home. We do this in peace and joy as we know you will be hearing the words we all desire to hear “welcome home good and faithful servant”.
I give thanks to God for knowing you and celebrate your new life.
I will miss you
Jackie did so much for Mary Mother of the Church. Didn’t know until after her death that she taught PSR in her home in the beginning. Her many years doing the Update and the great amount with Marriage Encounter including the Xmas dinner at their home. I’ll miss you.
May Don welcome you to your eternal home. ✝️
Angie and Family,
My condolences goes out to you and your family. I pray the Lord continues to comfort you all now and in the days ahead.
Love you bunches,
Jackie J.
Pat,
