Jacqueline Heins
JACQUELINE HEINS
Cedar Rapids
Jacqueline "Jackie" Heins passed away peacefully on Friday, Aug. 29, 2014. She was born Sept. 30, 1928, the daughter of Roy and Neva Engelbert of Williamsburg, Iowa. A member of the Greatest Generation, she served the country that she loved by playing taps on her trumpet for the small town boys who made the ultimate sacrifice in World War II.
Jackie graduated from Williamsburg High School in 1946 and the University of Iowa in 1950, with a degree in economics. She was a loyal member of Alpha Chi Omega and strongly supported her chapter.
In 1962, Jackie married the love of her life, Jack. Together they raised a family and traveled the world. Always a loyal Hawkeye, an avid golfer and phenomenal homemaker, life was always more fun when Jackie was around, especially if she planned the party.
She is survived by her husband, Jack of Cedar Rapids; her son, Charlie and his wife, Kissy Heins, of Marion; her daughter, Ann Heins of Washington, D.C.; and grandchildren, Jennifer of Washington, D.C., and Char of Denver, Colo.
A celebration of life will be 11 a.m. Friday, Sept. 5, at the First Congregational Church in Cedar Rapids.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in her memory to The First Congregational Church.
Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
