Jacqueline A. Oakes

It is with deep sadness that we mourn the July 16, 2020 passing of Jacqueline Ann (Ryan) Oakes, age 58, of New Lenox formerly of Homewood.  Loving and beloved mother of Matthew, Ashley and Morgan Oakes.  Dear sister of Carol (George) Vanderschoot, James (Cozy), the late Michael (Florence), Robert (Mary Kay) Ryan, Diane (Kurt) Gifford, the late Janet McLaughlin, Richard, Joseph, Thomas (Beth) Ryan.   Former husband and the father of her children, David Oakes.

The devoted daughter of late Anna Mae and late Jack Ryan, she was born in Chicago on November 26, 1961.  She raised a family in Homewood, Illinois where she brought her laughter and loyalty into the lives of her friends, family and community; she will be remembered for always being warm and welcoming, a proud and supportive mother and her tireless dedication to those she loved, especially her children.  She was so proud of her children and their accomplishments, always bragging to everyone about them.  She never missed any of their sporting events, school activities and life experiences.  She treasured her Irish catholic family, and always looked forward to the holidays with everyone.
