It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jacqueline Dawn Otto on October 11, 2021, after a valiant fight against cancer.
She was born on October 15, 1968, in Pinawa Manitoba, to parents, Fran and Robert. She lived and attended school in Pinawa until she was ready to move to Winnipeg and embark on a Nursing career.
She was predeceased by her father Robert and brother Trevor Otto. She is survived by her mother Fran, sister Jodine, brother-in-law Raymond and nieces, Lauren and Michelle.
Jackie graduated from Misericordia Nursing School and worked at the Emergency Department at Misericordia and St. Boniface Hospitals. She was admired by many doctors, nurses, staff and patients for her hard work and compassion. She inspired both her nieces to enter careers in the medical field.
She had many fun times with family and friends in Pinawa, Gladstone, Churchill, MB and Kamsack, SK. Jackie enjoyed listening to music and attending concerts. She loved cooking and trying out different foods at local restaurants. She travelled with Jodi to various countries where she enjoyed local cuisine, culture and tropical settings and was thrilled to hold a large stingray.
She was very close to many cousins and relatives across Canada and good friends like Leslie Ohare, Pat Pitman, Renee, Tracy, Brenda, Donna, Shirlee, Nancy, and Carole. Erin and Jackie became good friends and work colleagues and said that Jackie was the kindest and strongest woman she has ever known.
Thank you to Dr. Pits and all nurses and staff at CancerCare Manitoba for treating her with such respect and doing all you could do.
Till we meet again. We love and miss you.
Cremation has taken place through Korban Funeral Chapel.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
