Jacqueline (Jackie) Berry

Jacqueline (Jackie) Marie Berry passed away in the early morning hours of Thursday, May 19th, at the Iowa Methodist Medical Center. Jackie was born in Marshalltown on June 25th, 1947, to Joe and Betty Radcliff. She graduated from MHS as the first class in the new roundhouse with the class of ’65. Jackie loved collecting owls, bingo nights, and her family, especially all of her nephews. With her partner-in-crime, Sally Schoep, they enjoyed bowling leagues (playing against each other) and making trips to Las Vegas. She provided her wit and good humor to Dick’s Laundromat in Marshalltown for more than 20 years. In Jackie’s final years of life, she lived with her long-time family friend Doddy Schoep in Grimes. All who knew her will miss her presence, humor, and love. The family will hold a graveside memorial on June 4th at Riverside Cemetery at 10:30 A.M. with her nephew, Pastor Robert Radcliff, officiating. She is preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Betty Radcliff (Olsen), her brothers, Robert (Skeeter) and Craig Radcliff, her sister, Deb Radcliff, her nephew, Eric Burns, and her partner Sally Schoep. She is survived by her family friend Doddy Schoep (Grimes) and siblings Jeri Olear (Mason City) and Steve Radcliff (Washington). She is also survived by her nephews Mike and Shelly Olear (Marshalltown), Jason Radcliff and his daughter Maddie (New Mexico), Chad and Erin Radcliff and their daughters Bailey and Kendall (Washington), Robert and Sarah Radcliff (Mason City), and Darren Radcliff (Oskaloosa). -Lovingly written by the family
