<h2>Obituary: Jacqueline (Mrs. Bernie) Cobb</h2>

<p>A native of New Orleans, Jackie was known for her superior

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<br>
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. </p>
