Jackie was born to Daniel and Florence Rehr on May 25, 1953. She is survived by her older brother, Randy Rehr. After receiving her Associates degree in Art, she met the love of her life, Rick Pelasara. They were married in 1975, and had just recently celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary. Rick and Jackie spent their years together visiting art galleries, enjoying French cuisine, and creating lifelong memories in their favorite city, Paris.
Along with her deep appreciation for the arts, Jackie had a passion for the rehabilitation of and care for stray cats and other animals without homes. As the loving person she was, Jackie put her heart into helping those in need. All those who were fortunate enough to meet her, loved her.
Jackie’s warm and infectious smile lives on in her two daughters, Casey Marie Bohler and Jessie Lynne Pelasara, and her granddaughter, Quinn Soleil Bohler.
The family has chosen a private memorial. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Jackie’s favorite charity, “Alley Cat Allies” at www.alleycat.org
