Jackie Paskal
Jackie Paskal, sister of former IJN senior writer Andrea Jacobs, passed away March 22, 2022, surrounded by family at her home in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. She was 78. Memorials will be held in Boothbay Harbor and St. Louis, Mo., at a future date.
Jackie Jacobs was born May 25, 1943, in St. Louis. Recipient of a degree in special education from the University of Missouri, she was adored by her students.
She married Bob Paskal in 1966. The couple moved to Boothbay Harbor, an idyllic small town in Maine, in 1994.
Mrs. Paskal, a petite woman, spent long days on the Atlantic Ocean catching a huge array of big fish, much to the chagrin of her male counterparts.
Next to family and friends, she loved miniatures, pugs, jigsaw puzzles, two cups of morning coffee, mysteries and Maine’s serene beauty. She leaves behind her devoted pug Riley.
Jackie Paskal is survived by her husband Bob Paskal; daughters Mickie (Ross) and Allison (Chris); grandchildren Aron, Sam and John; siblings Andrea of Denver and Gordon (Lisbeth) of Stockholm, Sweden.
