Jackie was born October 20, 1938 in Davenport, a daughter of Hubert and Jeanne (McDermott) Wolters.  She was a graduate of ICA and worked as a medical assistant for Dr. E.A. Motto and Dr. E.V. Motto.

Jacqueline was united in marriage to Joseph “Joe” Breen Maher, Sr. on August 22, 1959 in Davenport, Iowa.  Prior to his death, they celebrated 56 years of marriage.  Jackie will be remembered as being loving, strong-willed, generous, and for her love for late night shows.  Jackie loved volunteering whether it was at schools, within her community or with her political party.  She loved to knit and would make blankets for her grandchildren and baby hats for newborns at the hospital.  Her life-long friends were very special to her and she looked forward to their get-togethers.  Most of all, she loved her family.  She enjoyed attending their events and celebrations.  It brought her the most joy when all her family was together.  She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Memorials may be made to the Humility of Mary Center or Clarissa C. Cook Hospice House.
