Jacqueline (Jackie) Herbruck went to walk in an endless garden of flowers at the age of 70. She leaves behind: her husband, Doug, of 44 years; and her three children, Matthew (Teren) Herbruck, Ashley (Steve) Brown, and Erin (Dustin) Shank; as well as her four cherished grandchildren, Evelyn, Luke, Holly, and Caroline. Jackie loved to garden, walk her two dogs, sewing and crafts, hiking, and a good glass of chardonnay. One of her favorite places was Traverse City, along with Holland, Saugatuck, and Alaska.

In addition to the relatives above, Jackie loved and was loved by: her sister Shelly; her nieces; and several wonderful friends.

After a brief battle with Leukemia, she passed peacefully in her home surrounded by her family.

In lieu in flowers please establish a gift "In Memory" of Jackie to one of the Garden Donor Giving Opportunities with the MSU Horticulture Gardens at www.givingto.msu.edu/gift/?smid=a11411 .

The family would like to wait for her gardens to bloom to do a celebration of her life in the coming spring.  Announcements will be made when a date is set.
