Jackie M. Lacey, age 72, of Fort Wayne passed away Friday, September 8, 2023.  She was born in Carlisle, PA to the late William Russell and Drucilla Yana.

Jackie worked in Fort Wayne for RKO Bottling, A.A. Billian Company, and Wagner and Associates. She raised her three girls and later was a devoted and loving grandmother to three young boys. She said that her kids and grandkids were her pride and joy, but her family suspected that she almost loved her dogs just as much. She enjoyed cooking, crafting, and sewing, and her favorite days were ones in which all of her family was together. She had a servant's heart, and was ready to help anyone at a moment's notice. A member of Brookside Church in Fort Wayne, she was a strong woman of faith whose most consistent prayer was for the saving faith of those she loved.

Jackie is survived by her husband of 43 years, Ben Lacey of Fort Wayne;  daughters, Cori (Scott) Flanagan of Fort Mill, SC, Teri (Matt) Harmon of Fort Wayne, and Keli (Dan) Teeters of Fort Wayne; 3 grandchildren, Rory, Jonathan, and Ezekiel;  siblings, Darlene (Tom) Russell;  and half-brother, Charles (Laura) Yana.

She was also preceded in death by her sister Faith Yana.

Services are Thursday, September 14 at 5:30 p.m. at Brookside Church, 6102 Evard Rd., with calling two hours prior.  Memorials may be made to Cancer Services of NE Indiana. To sign the online guestbook, go to www.fairhavenfortwayne.com
