Jacquelyn K. Reimold

At age 63, Jacquelyn Kay Reimold passed away on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 in her home. Jackie was born on June 29, 1953 in Saline, MI, the daughter of Elmer and Virginia (Schoenhals) Tobias. She is survived by her husband, Alfred "Fred" G. Reimold who she married on October 16, 1976 and her two children, Alyssa Reimold and Chad (Carley) Reimold, along with her three grandchildren. Jacquelyn Reimold (Jackie) was a beautiful person who touched the lives of all who came in contact with her. She was full of life and spirit, a strong woman with an addictive smile and laugh who was grounded in faith and the love of family. Jackie grew up in Saline, Michigan as one of eight children to farmers, Elmer and Virginia Tobias. Hard work, growing and nurturing were traits that rippled through her life beyond the farm. A retired employee of the University of Michigan Hospital, she was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She loved spending time with her sisters, grandchildren, cooking, crafting, and going to up north Michigan. Most of all she loved her family. She valued family and never drew lines on where her family ended. Everyone was welcome in her home and you felt that warmth immediately because to her, love was something everyone should have in their life. She had a big heart and extended her home to many people because she wanted them to feel devoted love and give them a safe place they could call home. Jackie considered her family her greatest achievement and loved her children, grandchildren and husband without complexities and with a depth that can't be measured. They have a love that they will carry with them forever. She taught and ingrained in her children that the simplicities of life shouldn't be taken for granted. Being kind, honest, trustworthy, and genuine will ultimately form the kind of person you will become - and she led by example. She continually showed her loved ones a strength and perseverance that was limitless and amazing. Jackie's imprint on the many lives that she touched will never be forgotten. Survivors in addition to her husband, children and grandchildren include her extended children Vanessa Kusak, and Heidi (Ronald) Hamill-Coakley. Other survivors include her siblings Thomas (Julia) Tobias, Marilyn (Ernie) Weaver, Barbara Lopez, Linda Hopkins, Diane Banks and Timothy Tobias, twelve nieces and nephews, twenty-one great nieces and nephews, and six great-great nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Elmer and Virginia, sister Janet Sue (Susie) Tobias, and niece Deborah Jean Kolander. Memorial services will take place on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 11:00 A.M. at the Milan Baptist Church in Milan, MI with a luncheon to follow.
