Notes from her Daugther Lisa St Pierre
Mom found out her first name was Ruth at the age of 18. Aunt Ruth changed her name on the birth certificate. Mom always went by R. Jaquelyn or Jaquelyn Ruth. She graduated from Cushing Academy in Ashburnham and Newton Wellesley Hospital as an RN.

She was married twice and widowed twice. She loved crossword puzzles and was very proficient with them. She was extremely intelligent. 

Her first husband and her first child, Rick’s father, died due to complications from MS. Her second husband, my father, died from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis which was exacerbated by radiation for lung cancer.  Mom had many health issues, but passed away from congestive heart failure.
