    Obituary: Jacqueline (Mrs. Bernie) Cobb

On January 29th, 2025, Jacqueline D. Cobb (88), surround by family, 
peacefully transitioned into the arms of God following complications 
associated with a hospital stay.

Now reunited with her beloved husband of 69 years, Bernie, she is 
survived by her daughter, Pamela (John); son, Stephen (Michelle); 
daughter, Melissa; bonus daughter, Shelley (Jim); grandson, Bradley 
(Autumn), and great granddaughters, Kennedy, Novella and Millie. Jackie 
is also survived by her constant companion and loving dog, Sophie Jo.

A native of New Orleans, Jackie was known for her superior cooking 
ability and most notably, how she poured endless love and generations of 
tradition into every pot of her homemade gumbo. Jackie received her 
Bachelor of Arts degree (1981) from the University of Alabama in 
Huntsville and went on to work and retire as a Social Worker through the 
State of Alabama’s Department of Children and Family Services (DHR). 
Additionally, Mrs. Cobb was an avid community volunteer devoting 
countless hours working in food pantries, assisting the elderly, and 
crocheting hats for
NICU infants. Jackie’s ability to utilize material/cloth to create just 
about anything was remarkable. What began as a need to provide clothing 
for her family, turned into a passionate art form. This talent evolved 
into creating macramé, needlepoint, knitting, crocheting and what would 
become her claim to fame, quilting. Jackie will always be known for her 
masterful quilt making ability.

Jackie Cobb’s “Celebration of Life” will begin with Visitation at Good 
Shepherd Catholic Church February 7th at 10:00 a.m. followed by Mass and 
Internment at 11:00 a.m. Family and friends are welcome to gather 
afterwards in the Parish Hall for food and drink to continue with the 
remembrance of a life well lived and loved.

The family thanks you in advance to consider in lieu of flowers, 
donations be made to an area animal rescue/adoption center of your choice.

Berryhill Funeral Home assisted the family.
