She was preceded in death by her mother and best friend
Phyllis “Flip” Ferris, and her dog Bubby.
Jackie is survived by her son Kristopher Schaffer; her
grand-dog Sapphire; her father David Ferris; sister Michelle Schaffer; brothers
Billy Schaffer and Danny Ferris; nephew and nieces, Brett Schaffer (Reagan
Ball), Brittiny Blodgett (Camden Lawrence), Alicia (Kevin) Gallagher, and
Nicole Jimerson; and 5 ½ great nieces and nephews.
Jackie was born April 19th, 1969 in Urbana, NY. The most
important thing to Jackie was her family. She treasured her son and loved her
nephew and nieces like her children. Jackie cared deeply, pouring herself into
caring for the ones she loved. She baked delicious treats, especially around
the holidays (Super Bowl included). She loved dogs, being warm, spending time
at the family cabin, buying birthday and Christmas gifts for the children in
her life, traveling, football, and having a good laugh with her friends and
family. She hated winter so it was fitting that she left us on the night of the
first snow.
Jackie was beloved by many and will be sorely missed.
There will be no prior calling hours. Private services will be held at the
convenience of the family. Funeral arrangements are in care of the Dagon
Funeral Home, 38 Church St., Hornell, NY.
