Jackie Elaine Haynes

Jacqueline Elaine Haynes-Springer, 54 of Lebanon, MO, passed away at Cox South in Springfield MO on January 22, 2018. She is survived by two sisters, Dorene (Haynes) Strange and Adrienne Haynes, one aunt, Violet Phillips, one uncle, John VanDerMale, as well as many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by Mary Bennett, her best friend of 17 years, and her service dog "PD". She is preceded in death by her parents Jack E and Janet (VanDerMale) Haynes. Jackie was born May 13, 1963 in Seattle WA and lived there until an adult. She attended Hocking College in Nelsonville OH and received a degree in Journalism/Photojournalism in 2009. Jackie loved sharing her life with her service dog "PD," fishing, football, writing, cherishing all of God's creation through photography, reading, travelling, volunteering with non-profit organizations and helping others. She was a fiercely loyal friend to those who loved her and she never met a person who wasn't worthy of kindness. Jackie's enormous personality, wealth of selflessness, her sense of humor and chucking laughter will be sorely missed by all. A celebration of life service will be held 6:30pm March 1st, 2018 at the Lebanon-Laclede County Library in Lebanon, MO. Per Jackie's request, she wanted to be buried in Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery in Seattle WA with her family, so in lieu of flowers a gofundme.com page has been set up, titled "Jackie's final trip home to Seattle." https://www.gofundme.com/jackie039s-final-trip-home.
