She was preceded in death by her father, Gaylord Wilson; mother, Elaine Wilson; and son, Michael Nehring.

Born Oct. 8, 1949, in Kewanee, Ill., to Gaylord Bartlett Wilson and Elaine Marion Wilson (Linder), she married James Dennis Nehring on Dec. 27, 1969. Jacquy attended Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids for floral design. She had too many interests and talents to list, but she was very passionate about her faith, raising her boys, music and the Power House/Solid Rock productions. She worked and volunteered in many areas, made many friends and touched countless lives along the way.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund will be estabilished at Hills Bank.

One thing you could always count on with our mother was there was always an open seat at her table. She loved to entertain and be a part of the show, but not the center of attention. She was a modest soul, rich only in life through the people she helped. Everyone was considered family, regardless of your troubles, and treated as such.

She will be greatly missed, but not forgotten.
