Jim and I are very sad to hear of Jacque’s passing. Y’all
Are always in our hearts.
I’m so sad to hear of Jacque's passing. We lived next door to each other in the mid 60’s and were so close… baby sitting each other’s kiddos, (her precious Ronda and my FOUR little ones) having coffee nearly every day, doing each other's hair, etc. Sadly, after we both moved away, we let that little bit of distance and time cause us to lose contact. I’m so sorry about that. I loved her.

I have many great memories that include Mrs. Attra! Her commitment to supporting us as Girl Scouts and as young women is something I have always appreciated and regarded highly.
We are so sad to learn of Jacque’s death. We have fond memories of canoeing and camping with Jacque and Heather. Jacque influenced so many Girl Scouts through her guidance and leadership.
May your memories bring you comfort and peace.
Blessings to your family.
We knew Jacque years ago when we lived in Dickinson in the early 70s. She was always friendly, helpful and dependable. We are so sorry to learn of her passing. Lean on your family, friends and faith to see you through this time of sorrow.
