Jacquline Lee Blome, a beacon of kindness and generosity, passed away peacefully due to natural causes on January 29, 2025, in Rapid City, South Dakota. Born on June 20, 1957, in Little Rock, Arkansas, Jacquline’s warm spirit and loving nature left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her.
Jacquline, affectionately known as Jackie to her friends and family, grew up in the vibrant community of Barstow, California, where she graduated from Barstow High School. After her education, she dedicated her life to the care and nurturing of her family as a self-employed homemaker. Jackie’s commitment to her family was the cornerstone of her life, and her unwavering support and love shaped the lives of those closest to her.
Jackie’s life was one of joyous engagement with the world around her. She had a deep love for her kitty cats, creating a warm and welcoming home for her feline companions. Her love extended beyond her pets to her cherished grandchildren, whom she spoiled with the same unconditional love and attention. Jackie’s laughter and smiles were most abundant when she was with her family, creating memories that would last lifetimes.
An adventurer at heart, Jackie enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, including panning for gold in the streams of California. Her enthusiasm for this pastime was a testament to her appreciation for nature and the excitement of discovery.
She is survived by a loving family who will continue to honor her legacy: her daughter, Shanon (Shane) Oshea; her grandchildren, Natasha Frasier, Jorden Hannah, Julie (Zay) Gunnell, Wayne Frasier III, and Trinity Frasier; and five great-grandchildren, who brought immense joy and laughter into her life.
Those who knew Jacquline will remember her as the embodiment of love and generosity. Her kind spirit and the care she showed to others were her defining characteristics. In times of need, Jackie was a source of strength and comfort, always ready to lend a helping hand without expecting anything in return.
In remembrance of Jacquline, one is reminded of the words of Mother Teresa: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” Jackie’s life was a testament to this philosophy, as she performed countless small acts of love that together created a tremendous impact on her community and family.
Though Jacquline Lee Blome’s physical presence is no longer with us, her spirit of love and generosity will continue to inspire and guide those she has left behind. Her memory will be cherished, and the light she brought into this world will never be extinguished.
