Poor, Jacqueline
Jacqueline Lucille (Giguere) Poor, a resident of Norwood since 1997, died Tuesday, October 27, 2009 peacefully at her home in Norwood, surrounded by her friends and family, after a three year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 61. Jackie was born March 15, 1948 in Worcester, Massachusetts, a daughter of Albert and Lucille (Gonyea) Giguere. She was a native of Massachusetts but had lived in Delaware and Texas for many years. She returned to Massachusetts in 1994 to live near her friends and family.

Her generosity was evident in all aspects of her life, from mentoring colleagues to numerous philanthropic contributions. She loved books, travel, her film group, the arts, animals, and cooking. She will be dearly missed.

Dear family,
My deepest condolences to you, her children, and to your aunts, Elaine and Janice.
Although time and distance made contact difficult, her memory has not dimmed. “Jackie” was always beautiful in features as well as in personality. Her loss, I know, will be felt forever.
With caring,
Cousin Ken Proffitt, Worcester, MA
