Jackie Rean Straight, 20, went to be with the Lord on December 23, 2017. She was a graduate of the Unadilla Valley with the Class of 2017 and also attended DCMO BOCES where she took early childhood development. Following her graduation she began providing daycare for her younger brother and sister as well as other family members.
Jackie was a loving beautiful young woman who left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She loved animals and babies and in turn loved her right back. She loved her music and enjoyed singing to the music. Not a day went by that you couldn’t hear her beautiful voice singing to one of the little ones. She had a special way with babies and could calm them so quickly.
Jackie always had a joke ready to make those around her smile. She never seemed to be in a bad mood, always smiling and trying to make others do the same. She loved her horror films as well as her favorites including Child’s Play and Jeeper’s Creeper’s.
Jackie is survived by her mother Sally Straight and fiance’ Milton Brooks, her father Brad Straight and fiance’ Royx Newby, brothers Bradley and Stefan Straight, sisters Dana and her boyfriend Evan Hicks and Sarah Straight, her maternal grandmother Nina Carson and fiancé David Smith, paternal grandmother Alice Slate and her maternal great grandmother Jane Hurlburt.
