JACQUELINE GROSS

Terry, Anna and family my condolences. I knew you dad slightly more than your mom but while they were married he spoke highly of his wife and all of you. My heart goes out to you all.

Julie and Terry: So very sorry for your loss.

What a cherished Mother, Grand Mother, Great Grand Mother you all have memories now of. I knew "Mrs Gross" many many years ago growing up on Bridgewood Drive in Neenah. The door literally was always open , and I considered her my second Mother. I do not think she ever slept, with 9 children, there was always something to do, someone needed to go somewhere, lots of trips to the National Grocery Store, Cecil Street liquor store for an exchange 8 empty Pepsi bottles for 8 filled ones, visits to Lake Winnebago, always stopping at A&W for the free baby cones, there was always room in the station wagon for one more child. She loved to sew and knit, making beautiful Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls, our Barbie collections were the best dressed, as she knit and sewed their outfits, a perpetual summer tent set up in the back yard for sleep overs, and a slippery slide to kill the grass. She was everyone's cheerleader. RIP Mrs. Gross, you raised 9 great kids, 10 if you include me.

Julie, Terry, Randy and all the other children of Jackie, my deepest sympathy to you all. I go back to remembering her wedding day in Oshkosh, as I was only 12 and the Gross family all stopping at my parents on there way home. However after leaving FdL for college in Madison my connection with all my cousins diminished somewhat but always got info from my Mom of their life events. My thoughts are with you all during this sad time. Cousin Dick

I was so fortunate to work with Jackie at K-C. Such an amazing lady! I loved her sense of humor and kind heart. She was a lady of so many talents. I remember she sewed camouflage incontinence underwear for me that I took to my brother-in-laws 50th birthday. They were a huge hit! I’m sorry I missed the funeral. Rest in peace Jackie. You will shine in Heaven.
