Jacqueline Ethel Gotthardt


Jacqueline Ethel Marie (Comparetto) Gotthardt was born September 13, 1930 in Wellsville, Ohio to the late Francis and Viola Comparetto. Jackie passed away peacefully on August 19, 2019 at her home. She was preceded in death by her sister Theresa (Comparetto) Reed and her brother John Comparetto. She is survived by her husband of 65 years, Glenn E. Gotthardt, her five beloved children: Jeffrey Gotthardt (Angela), Catherine Sheptock (Gary), Glenn A. Gotthardt, Elizabeth Reese (Dale), and Amy Beck (Greg), her nine grandchildren: Koree, Alexxa, Logan, Garren, Bianca, Amber, Ryley, Mitchell, Thomas, and four great grandchildren with one on the way.

Jackie and Glenn met at a Midland, PA dance club soon after Glenn returned from an Army assignment in Germany and were married a short 6 months later. They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary last year, surrounded by their family and the tunes of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra (Jackie’s favorites). They raised their five children in Warren, Ohio where Jackie was involved in various school organizations and women’s card clubs. Jackie loved deeply and connected individually with each of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She is remembered by all of them for her boundless exuberance, infinite capacity for love, and infectious laugh (not to mention her famous Sicilian sausage bread).
Calling hours will be held Saturday, August 24th at Lane Canfield Chapel 65 N Broad Street Canfield, OH from 10AM to 12PM followed by a service at noon. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Diehl Lake Building Fund in her memory.
