Jacqueline Craig

Jacqueline Monique Craig, the daughter of Lorenza Lonzo Craig Jr. and Marva Jo McDonald Craig, went to her eternal home on June 17, 2011 at Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital in Columbia, MO.

Jacqueline was born February 7, 1971, in Columbia, MO.  Jacqueline was the oldest of three children.

She joined St. Paul Free Will Baptist Church at a very young age.  Jacqueline lived in Slater, Missouri for 18 years where she attended elementary, junior high and graduated with honors from Slater High School in 1989.  She moved to Marshall, MO where she attended Missouri Valley College.  She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1994.  After graduating from College, she moved to Columbia and worked for Head Start as a teacher's assistant for several years before taking a job with the University of Missouri as an administrative assistant.  During her 12 years with the University, Jacqueline held several positions.  Her last job was a web designer / computer programmer.  While living in Columbia, Jacqueline became a member of Second Missionary Baptist Church.  Jacqueline joined the Army Reserves in 2006 and served until her illness took over.  She always wanted to help other people and that was one of the reasons she joined the Army Reserve to help in any capacity.

Jacqueline had a special gift.  She was a very good artist and designer and attended every event that was related to art.  She also spent a lot of time working out at the gym on the University Campus and reading poetry.  Jacqueline spent a lot of her spare time with her family and loved them very much. 

Jacqueline leaves to cherish her memories, her mother, Marva and father Lorenza (Boone); one brother, Lorenza Craig III (Melissa) of Pennsylvania; and one sister, Danita Craig of Marshall, MO and a host of family members and loved ones.

There will be a memorial service 11 AM, Saturday, June 25, 2011 at the St. Paul Free Will Baptist Church in Slater, MO with Revs. Wayne Tooley and Don White officiating.  Burial will follow the service at Mount Moriah Cemetery in Slater.
