Dear Ogren Family, we were so saddened to hear of Jackie’s death. We spent a lot of time together way, way back when she worked at the eye care center and I was across the hall at State Farm. We also had a lot of fun working at the Chieftain sports bar. Monday nights were a blast with Jackie, Jelly and me. She introduced us all to the term “Ball Bat”. She was always such a burst of energy and always had a smile. She will be missed. Please know that we will be thinking of all of you.
So sorry for your loss! Jackie was such a fun and loving person I enjoyed throwing darts with her and Kevin back in the day. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
This is super horrible to hear. I will always remember her smiling and laughing and joking around. She was such a fun person. My heart goes out to her husband, Robert, Dwight, Macy, and all other family I haven’t mentioned…I haven’t met everyone in the family, but I am horribly sorry to hear this. Prayers and hugs to all ❤️
Oh Kevin and family, we are saddened to hear this news. Wow life is so unpredictable. She was always such a bubbly happy person. We want you to know we are thinking of you at this sad time. Memories of her will never be forgotten. HUGS!
I know this is a tough time for you. Enjoy your time now with your family. Sue and I are also suffering with broken hearts. Always remember, when you do feel up for it, you are always welcome to come visit…. Just no getting up at 4 in the morning….
Your families are in our thoughts and prayers. we are here for you always!

Shocked to hear about Jackie. She had such a wonderful personality and was always so helpful while we picked our glasses. Always had an opinion and was correct. Such a loss.
So sorry to hear Jackie lost her battle with cancer. She and I had a nice visit in Bismarck as we were both waiting for tests at Sanford. She was such a pleasant person and so nice to talk to. Please accept my sincere sympathy and prayers.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to You Kevin and your Family! Jackie was such a fun, loving, person and never missed a time to say HI and ask how everyone was doing. Jackie loved her family and always talked about her kids and what her and Kevin were going to do when you both retired. We always talked about meeting down south of Bismarck, I believe where your daughter lives, to get together and it never happened. Please know we are thinking of you all! Rest in Peace Jackie! You will be missed.
Very sorry to hear about Jackie. She was such a bubbly, fun person to be around. She will truly be missed. Prayers for all the family.
My heart is broken…Jackie and I were best friends when they lived in Bronson. We were partners in crime always laughing and having so much fun. Prayers to all of the family. I’m so glad I got to see her over the 4th of July.
I am deeply saddened to learn about the loss of Jackie! Please accept my heartfelt sympathy Kevin and to your family! We had some good times together with the retirees of the plant. Prayers to all!
We miss Jackie’s smile, the funny way she says “North Dakooota”, and her firey spirit. As your family begins healing, only the best memories will remain. 🐚
We are deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Praying you find comfort and peace in God.
Sorry for your loss.Thoughts and prayers to Kevin and family.
Kevin and family,
I know there are no words…hugs, prayers for you all. Jackie was absolutely a firecracker! Her smile and eyes were always bright with expression … she seemed to never tire! Even to just think of her makes me smile!!! We had a lot of fun at working together years ago at the pasta plant. Lots of laughter and some serious conversations. You knew just where you stood with her. She was a one of a kind!
Our hearts are sad too … may God hold all of you in his arms and help to bring you peace and comfort….and cherish the many happy memories; let them help lighten your hearts. Our sympathy to all of you ..
My sincerest condolences to you all. I always loved to see her bright smiling face at Bethesda Lutheran Church when she visited her daughter Tera and her husband Mark Meyer and their children! She will be missed! She was born into earthy life on November 12th…and born into Eternal Life on November 12th! Hold fast to beautiful memories and our Hope in our Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Upholding you all in my prayers!
God’s Peace, Pastor Bethany Haberstroh
