Jackie Perschon Obituary (1933 - 2023)

Our phenomenal mom, grandma, aunt, sister and friend, returned home to her sons in the early morning of December 22, 2023 in Murray, UT. Jackie Kay Perschon was born on December 28, 1933 to Gilbert and Sylvia Kay, the baby of the family. Jackie was a caring, funny, genuine, and brilliant individual who touched the lives of many. She was everyone's grandma and she accepted you with open arms. "Your name is mud", "Up your bucket" and "You're a dirty bird" will forever live in our hearts. Jackie had a fulfilling career at Abbott, where she dedicated many years of her life. She retired after a successful tenure of 20+ years. In her free time, she was a die-hard Steelers fan, avid bingo player, Elvis lover and most of all she loved spending time with her family. She never forgot someone's birthday or to send her daily emails to loved ones. Jackie was preceded in death by her husband, Pete, sons, Paul and Kevin, and granddaughter, Kellie. She is survived by her sister, Lou Kay, and her children: Sylvia (Dave) Kramer, Pam (Mark) Shaw, Scott (Sue) Perschon, Lisa (Grant) Lambros. She was also blessed with 9 grandchildren and lots of great-grandchildren, who brought immense joy to her life. Jackie will be deeply missed by her family and many friends. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, January 6th, 2024 from 12 pm to 4 pm at 5884 S Sagewood Dr. Murray, UT. Family, friends, and all those whose lives were touched by Jackie are invited to honor her memory and share stories of her remarkable life. Please wear your favorite sports team attire.
