Portland Review - Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014

Jacquellyn (Jacky) (Jacky Maynard) Strong born August 7th, 1946, age 68, passed 
away on September 17, 2014, at Hospice of Dayton, Ohio, due to Lyme Disease and 
cancer. Jacky was born and lived many years in Indianapolis, IN, graduating 
from St. Mary Academy and the Indiana Business College. She was a woman of 
talent and compassion. She achieved expertise in several areas of specialized 
knowledge and visual and verbal artistic expression. She ably used her 
abilities of Health as well as for the enjoyment of many family and friends. 
She was also a friend to all animals. She started and ran a successful pet 
sitting business for several years until the effects of Lyme Disease forced her 
to discontinue. She suffered the pain and debilitating effects of Lyme Disease 
and Pancreatic Cancer with bravery and strength, remaining active and keeping 
her bright sense of humor and consideration of others to the very end. 

Jacky was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Zetta Maynard. She is 
survived by her loving husband of 44 years, Steve Strong; her sister, Janice 
Maynard Annee (Carl) of Canton, GA; her "second family": sisters-in-law Judy 
Pung, Gloria Hensley and Agnes Krancich of Portland, MI; Barbara Struble of 
Anchorage, Alaska; Donna Paquin (Gary) of Dorr, MI; Nancy Strong (Tom Vemich) 
of Kalamazoo, MI; Mary Lyon (Jim) of Eagle, MI; and brother-in-law, Jim Strong 
of Lansing, MI; as well as many nieces and nephews and her four cats, Darby, 
Bailey, Simon and Autumn. 

After a life of selfless giving and patient suffering, she is deserving of 
peace and joy in the hereafter.

A memorial mass will be held at 11:30 AM on Thursday, October 2, 2014 at St. 
Patrick Church, Portland, MI with a reception following the service. In lieu of 
flowers donations may be given in her name to the Society for Improving
