Jacqueline K Kelly

In loving memory of Jacqueline K. Kelly (Mangelinks), who passed away peacefully on March 8, 2024 at Pine Rock Manor in Warner after her battle with dementia at the age of 81.

Jackie's journey began on the West Side of Manchester, New Hampshire, where she cherished her roots and the warmth of her family. Summers were spent at the family's vacation home on Bow Lake in Northwood, where she cultivated her love for skiing, both on water and snow, instilling the same passion in her children.

As a single mother, Jackie exemplified strength and resilience, navigating through various careers in the Manchester area to provide a good life for her family. When her children reached adulthood, she returned to her beloved Bow Lake, where she pursued her lifelong passion for animals, particularly dogs and horses. She founded a pet sitting company in Strafford, fulfilling her love for caring for animals. Additionally, she dedicated herself to the cause of rescuing greyhounds, and later found joy in breeding dachshunds and shih tzus, bringing loving companionship to many.

Jackie is survived by her loving daughters, Kelly Bryer and Lynn Mack; her grandchildren, Daniel Carr, Patrick Mack, and Emma Bryer; and three great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents Dorothy Kelly-Williams (Roglar), and Peter Mangelinks; step parents, Myles Kelly and William Williams and her brother, Peter Mangelinks Jr. Her memory will forever be cherished by her family and those whose lives she touched with her kindness and love.

A private graveside service will be held at Pine Grove Cemetery in Manchester, NH, where she will be laid to rest with her parents. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Jackie's honor to Bayada Hospice and Granite State Ambassadors, a statewide nonprofit where Jackie volunteered and formed meaningful connections and friendships during the early stages of her battle with dementia.

Jackie's legacy of love, resilience, and compassion will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
