Jacqueline Rose Winter

Jacqueline Rose Winter, 79, died April 19, 2022, at her home in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Jacqueline was born October 13, 1942, in Peru, Illinois, the daughter of Robert Leroy Massieon and Patricia Louise White Massieon. When she was three years old, her family moved to Wamego, Kansas, where her father was engaged in farming and the livestock business. Jacquie was the third generation of women in her family to graduate from the Mount St. Scholastica Academy and then Mount St. Scholastica College (now Benedictine College) in Atchison, Kansas. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, she taught second grade briefly in Manhattan, Kansas.

As they were both finishing their senior year of high school in 1960, Jacquie met Thomas Lawrence Winter. The two were introduced by Jacquie’s uncle, Fr. James White. Jacquie and Tom continued their relationship through their college years and were united in marriage on July 18, 1964, at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Wamego.

Through nearly 58 years of marriage, Jacquie and Tom raised three children. Due to Tom’s work in the meat industry, they moved from Manhattan to Overland Park, Kansas; then to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Olympia Fields, Illinois; and finally, to Scottsdale, Arizona in late 1990. They built their dream home in the Pinnacle Peak Mountains in Scottsdale, where they have enjoyed living in the beautiful desert surroundings for more than thirty years.

Throughout her life, Jacquie was the consummate hostess. She prided herself on entertaining a large circle of friends and family at home. Many of the same requested her recipes and are still using them to this day, from carefully hand-written recipe cards given to them by Jacquie.

Jacquie was very involved in school organizations while her children were young, including being a PTO officer, a Great Books leader and coordinator, and a teacher assistant. She was also known in Olympia Fields for co-hosting an annual Mother-Daughter Holiday Tea. In addition, she was a member of the Catholic Church in all of the many towns she inhabited, most recently at Our Lady of Joy Catholic Church in Carefree, Arizona.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her daughter Susan May of Plano, Texas; her son Christopher Winter (Gabriella) of Irvine, California; and her daughter Jennifer Doublesin (James) of Allen, Texas, as well as five grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents and her two brothers, Richard Massieon and Robert Massieon, Jr.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m., Monday, May 2, 2022, at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Wamego, followed by inurnment in the St. Bernard Catholic Cemetery. Concelebrants will be Fr. Michael Peterson and Fr. James White, S.J. A Wake Service with reciting of the Rosary will be at 6:00 p.m. Sunday, May 1, 2022, at the Campanella and Stewart Funeral Home in Wamego, with visitation from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
