Jacqueline Ann Garner

     Jacqueline Garner, a beacon of love and strength, an icon of Merle Norman Cosmetics for over 40 years, passed peacefully on October 3, 2024, in Mishawaka, Indiana, at the age of 80, wrapping up a life journey that began on October 20, 1943, in South Bend, Indiana. Jacqueline was the daughter of Edward and Catherine Wroblewski.

     In 1973, Jacqueline pledged her heart to Jerry E. Garner, marking the beginning of a devoted partnership and one of a kind love that flourished for over five decades. Their love blossomed into three children: Traci Garner, Heather (Scot) Stopczynski, and Jeffrey (Melissa) Garner, who in turn filled Jacqueline's life with the joy of ten grandchildren; Ryne, Reyd, Taylor, Christopher, Alexander, Jacob, Peyton, Tyson, Tia, Ava and the wonder of three great-grandchildren with two more on the way. She will be remembered lovingly by her husband, children, grandchildren and her beloved sister, Dolores Hinz.

     Jacqueline was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Sonny Wroblewski.

     The family of Jacqueline will receive friends on Sunday, October 27th from 1:00 – 3:00 PM in Hahn Funeral Home.

     In Lieu of flowers, please feel free to donate to The Ronald McDonald House of Michiana.
