Jacqueline Mary Carty (nee Smith)

March 25, 2020

Jacqueline Mary Carty (nee Smith), 59, of Hammonton, NJ, passed away peacefully on March 25, 2020 with her family at her side. Jackie is survived by her husband Joe, her daughter Daina and husband John, and her son Joe and fiancée Lori. She had six grandsons who called her Grandmom and Sassafrass: Lachlan, Thorin, Luigi, Romeo, Johnny, and Mikey. She was preceded in death by her parents, Len and Lois Smith. Jackie is also survived by her siblings Kathi, Michael, Sean, Dan, Kevin, Brendan, Terrance, Brian, and Tim, as well as too many nieces and nephews to name. Jackie was always positive and accepting. She was funny and could made anyone around her laugh—even if just at her own uncontrollable laughter. She passed her contagious smile on to her daughter and her endless creativity on to her son. An Irish lass, one of the most memorable moments of Jackie’s life was visiting Ireland with her husband. In Ireland, she fell in love with the little town of Cobh in County Cook. After her husband, children, and grandchildren, Jackie’s greatest joy was spending time with her sister. Their excursions shopping for Christmas “sister balls” and short four-hour lunches at Olive Garden were only topped by the hours they spent on the phone. Jackie’s most rewarding work was caring for elderly patients in an assisted living home. A natural caregiver, she loved talking to them and learning their histories. She always used her creativity to brighten the lives of others and showed her artistic skills by creating bulletin boards that her patients and their families marveled at. A celebration of Jackie’s life will be held at a later date. In honor of Jackie, consider giving the gift of life by becoming an organ donor or donating to her favorite charity, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Arrangements have been entrusted to Wimberg Funeral Home, 400 Liverpool Ave, Egg Harbor City 609-965-0357. For condolences, please visit wimbergfuneralhome.com.
