Kathleen Joan (Jackson) Re Obituary (1959 - 2023)

Kathy Jo (Jackson) Re passed away on October 1, 2023, at the age of 64. Kathy was born on May 22, 1959, in Springfield. She was raised, and spent most of her life, in Girard. She married Louie Re on October 19, 2001. Kathy devoted her life to caring for others. There was hardly a day in the last 48 years she was not caring for someone other than herself. Her house was open to everyone, and she cherished every moment spent with her family. Kathy was a faithful believer in the Lord, and unselfish at her core. She enjoyed cooking elaborate meals, but only if it was for others. She enjoyed gardening and canning, but insisted others take the "veggies" of her labor. She loved the Christmas season, because of the excitement it brought to others. She took joy in displaying her elaborate Christmas village, baking an abundance of treats, giving presents and above all spending time with family. On summer days you could guarantee finding her at the dining room table watching a St. Louis Cardinals game. She was welcomed into heaven by her daughter Stephanie, sister Beverly, and her parents. She will be dearly missed by her: husband, Louie; son, Stephen (Alison) D'Aunoy of Troy; daughters, Serena (Paul) Fee and Savannah (John) Spear, all of Chatham; grandchildren Anthony and Olivia Schuetz of Palmyra; Anna and Hailey D'Aunoy of Troy; brothers Leonard (Peggy) Jackson of Springfield, Roger (Keila) Jackson of Girard, Mark (Monica) Jackson of Springfield, Marlin Jackson of Girard, Randy (Vickie) Jackson of Rochester and Brad (Amy) Jackson of Springfield; and many nieces and nephews. A visitation will be held on Monday, October 9, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Airsman & Calvert Funeral Homes, Virden. Private graveside services will be held at Virden Cemetery with Reverend Larry Griffith officiating. Memorials are suggested and may be made to the Girard Rescue Squad and will be received by Airsman & Calvert Funeral Homes, Virden who is honored to be caring for Kathy's family.
