Jacqueline P. Barr

Jackie was preceded in death by adoptive parents, Edward and Alma (Price) Ferrier; husband, Leon Mickiewicz; and husband, Donald Barr.

Jackie lived most of her life in Dowagiac, moving to Fairington Apartments in South Bend, Ind., on Jan. 22, 1997.

Her sister preceded her in death.

She worked hard as a waitress/bartender most of her life to raise three children on her own. She did a great job in doing that; all three of her kids own their own businesses.

After retiring from waitressing, Mrs. Barr worked for the Cass County Sherriff’s Office and for the Council on Aging.

Jackie loved going to Canada and the Upper Peninsula.

She was the only person her family knew who could do crossword puzzle in INK!
