Jacqueline E. Nye
September 19, 1940 - August 3, 2015
Jacqueline E. Jackie Nye, age 74, of Bear, DE, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 3, 2015.
Born in Willoughby, OH and raised in Sarasota, FL, Jackie was the daughter of the late Fred Nye, Sr. and Elizabeth (George) Nye.

She will be remembered as a loving and devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother and will be very dearly missed.
In addition to her parents, Jackie was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry C. Lofland and a brother, Fred Nye, Jr. She leaves many fond memories to her children, Jill Sowry of Newark, Shannon Sowry of Pensacolo, FL and Elizabeth Beth T. Nye of Bear; two granddaughters, Nicholle Nye and Kayla Cathell; two great grandchildren, Heaven Nye and Brian Greene; and uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. George.

Beth,
I am so glad I got to know your mother through you the past few years. She was a sweet lady who really enjoyed her store in Delaware City. She will be missed by those locals and many others.
Hugs,

Dearest Beth,
I “met” your mother on the internet a long time ago, porphyria brought us together and we exchanged experiences from time to time.
To me, she was a very sweet and caring lady, at one time she did intend to visit the UK and I was looking forward to meeting her, sadly that wasn’t meant to be.
Jacquie (Jackie) put out her hand and touched the face of God.
My deepest sympathy to you and the rest of your family, may your Mum Rest in Peace.
With lots of love, Mary <3 <3
