She graduated from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana with a Bachelor’s degree in English and from Rosary College with a Master’s degree in Library Science.
She was actively involved in the Williamson County Master Gardeners Association and the Franklin Farmer’s Market. What brought Jackie the most joy was her family, flower farming, puzzling, and kayaking down the mighty Mississippi in Stoddard, Wisconsin, her happy place.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Vivian Mattea, and her brother, Jim Mattea.
She is survived by her husband, Nicholas “Nic” Wiggishoff; her daughter, Lindsay Oduor and her husband, Brian; her son, Dillon Wiggishoff; and her daughter, Lauren Leber, her husband, Bernard, and their daughter, Maggie. She is also survived by her siblings Bill Mattea, Joanne Benton, Keith Mattea, David Mattea, Mary Feit, and Richard Mattea as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
There will be no services at this time as there will be a celebration of life at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations in Jackie’s name to the Kidney Cancer Association (www.kidney cancer.org).
