   Jackie was born on February 29, 1936 in Sioux City, to Harry and Ada (Burright) Wilson. She attended Central High School. On January 28, 1967 she married Dean E. Becke in Dakota City. Dean passed away on February 3, 1995. She was a Riversider for life, living between the 2100 and 2200 block of Fairbanks Street for over 60 years.

   Jackie spent years working at Bomgaars, Bishop’s, 4^th Street Café, and Target, but her most important job was raising her seven children. She was a member of IOF (Independent Order of Foresters); and was also a member of Morningside Assembly of God and Riverside United Methodist Church.

   In her free time, she enjoyed camping, bowling, and fishing. She was a great seamstress and loved to crochet. She was also known to boomerang her slippers at her kids from time to time (and could make it every bit of 30 feet if she wanted to)!

   She is survived by her children: Cindy Bennett; Bill Monroe; Steve Monroe (Robin); Spencer Monroe (Kary); Russ Becke; and Bianca Becke; 11 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

   She was preceded in death by her husband, Dean; a son, Mitch Monroe; daughter-in-law, Carol Hubert; her parents, Harry and Ada; and her eight older siblings.

   In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be directed to Wounded Warrior or DAV, Disabled American Veterans Charity.

   Jackie’s family requests casual attire at her services, as were Jackie’s wishes.
