Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker,
Jacqueline May Hardisty was born on June 19th, 1969. She was the oldest daughter of Ernest and Florence Hardisty. She was born in Fort Simpson but raised in Jean Marie River.
When Jacqueline was younger, she was adventurous, mischievous, and lived freely with the other younger girls and boys. Jacqueline attended school in Jean Marie River and Fort Simpson.
Jacqueline was always so proud of her children Malerie, Brennen, Gerald, Terrance and Keaton. She talked fondly of her children and grandchildren. Whenever she would call or was around her friends, she would make sure part of the conversation always turned to her family. When you spoke to them afterwards, they would always say "Jacqueline speaks a lot about her family and Jean Marie River. Thanks to your mother, we know a lot about your family."
Jacqueline was known as an amazing cook and organizer and cleaner. She was able to find employment wherever she lived. As I said previously, she was adventurous and enjoyed travel. She lived in numerous communities in the Northwest Territories, BC and Alberta.
Jackie had a contagious smile and laugh. When you were around her, you were always in for some good laughs. People always felt she was always bubbly. Even if she did not know you, she would start a conversation with you because she just loved to chat. Sometimes it was very hard to get your own words in but you were never offended. You always left with a happy heart and sore cheeks after speaking with her.
Mr. Speaker, the family, and friends would like to thank everybody for all the kind words, love, support and generosity during this difficult time for them. They would like to ask people to remember Jackie and cherish all the fond memories they had of her. Mr. Speaker, she will be sadly missed. Thank you
MR. SPEAKER:
