Jacquelin graduated from Garfield High School in Seattle, WA in 1950, and went on to study Education at the University of Washington.

It is in Mexico City where she met and married her husband Oscar Brian “Bud” Lynott of 28 years. Together they raised 3 children: Brian Robert, John Edward and Marcia Ann. After over 50 years in Mexico City, Jackie retired to San Antonio, TX in 2011.

Jacquelin is survived by her daughter Marcia Ann Lynott Barkis (Joseph Daniel Barkis) and her 5 grandchildren: Elizabeth Lynott, Inez Lynott, Jacquelin Lynott, Oscar Barkis and Molly Barkis. She is preceded in death by her husband Oscar Brian Lynott (1990), and her sons, Brian Robert Lynott (1997) and John Edward Lynott (2009).

A private family ceremony to spread her ashes at sea will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations may be made to the Jane Goodall Institute.
