Jacqueline “Jackie” Colomb, born April 25, 1943, in Portland, Maine, passed away April 1, 2022, after a long illness.
Jackie lived in Kennebunk most of her life. She earned an associate’s degree in accounting and worked in that field for more than 30 years, retiring from RR Donnelly.

She had a great love of cats (especially her “boys” Pepper and Spice); she was a life-long Yankees fan, loved traveling, enjoyed gardening, sewing and craft projects and was an avid reader of mysteries.
Jackie was eucharistic minister for St. Martha’s for many years, she donated baked goods, handmade crafts for church events and volunteered at the annual Christmas fair.
