Jackie Doga, age 83, of Lake Charles, Louisiana passed away on Monday, July 10, 2023 surrounded by her family in the hospital. She was born August 28, 1939 to F.F. Fontenot and Isabel Dugas Fontenot in Lake Charles.
Jackie was a lifelong resident of Lake Charles where she was a parishioner of St. Margaret's Catholic Church and was very strong in her faith. She was a retired banker from Calcasieu Marine National Bank after many years. Jackie was an avid baker, enjoyed camping, coaching youth softball, watching LSU and the Saints. Spending time with her family was one of her greatest joys as well as playing with her dog Belle. She was known to many for her kind soul as she never met a stranger. Jackie, a widow for a short 90 days, died of a broken heart after losing her spouse who was a part of her life for 70 years.
