Jacquelyn “Jackie” Lee Faux, of Edgewater Park, NJ, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 6, at the age of 89.

She is predeceased by her mother Leona J. Howarth and father Jonathan W.

Jackie was a proud 1951 graduate of Burlington Senior High School and attended Rider College before her career working at Bell Telephone until she retired in 1986.  She also was a caring homemaker, mother, and grandmother and a great friend to many, many people, young and old.

Everyone looked forward to her famous Christmas Cookies, which she loved spending days baking every year for friends and family.  She also was an active and beloved member of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, and especially enjoyed volunteering for their successful Christmas Sales, Rummage Sales, Chicken Luncheons, and Spaghetti Dinners.  Jackie was an avid reader and gardener and always ready for an adventure with her son Eric and grandson Dylan in Montana. Her kind and loving spirit shined brightly and was felt by everyone she encountered.
