Jacqueline Lou Rhyner

Jacqueline (Jackie) Loue Rhyner born July 25th, 1943 passed away peacefully on November 22nd, 2022.  Jackie was born to Blanche and Glen (Jack) Wescott in South Dakota and was the oldest of 8 children.  Jackie had two sons, Doug and Danny, with her first husband Gary Davis, eventually moving to Puyallup, WA in 1965.  In October of 1965 she met her husband and soulmate, Benjamin (Ben) Rhyner, where they wasted no time marrying just one month later and having two more children Denise and Darryl.  Jackie created a life caring for others.  She ran an adult family home for 20 years where she welcomed, cared for, and loved her residents like family.  Jackie was a fierce protector of her family and friends.  Her unique sense of humor and outlook on life made her a person that was sought out for her love, loyalty or just a good laugh if you needed it.  Jackie loved music, casinos, games, scratch offs, the Seahawks, and talking on the phone with her loved ones.  Jackie and Ben retired in Sahuarita, AZ where their friendships flourished before moving back to Washington to be close to their children.  Jackie lost her husband, Ben, in February 2022, but it was her faith and love for Ben that kept her going knowing that they’d meet again soon.  Their love for each other inspired many.  Jackie was met in heaven by her husband, mother and father, siblings, and grandsons.  She is survived by her daughter Denise (Chuck) Fain, sons Doug (Lorraine) Rhyner and Danny (Brenda) Davis, youngest sister, 7 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren.
