Jacqueline Marie Myers Wooding was born December 28, 1970 in Danville, Virginia to Wille Myers and Dorothy Mae Cabell. Jacqueline was educated in the Pittsylvania County Public School System.

Jacqueline leaves to cherish her memory both parents; her husband, Jeffery Wooding; four daughters, Lashona Myers, Jasmine Wooding, Tanisha Wooding, and  Martika Wooding; and one son, Michael Mefall all of Danville, Virginia; three siblings, Felicia (Donald) Thomas of Axton VA, Melinda (Denis) Pritchett of Collinsville VA, Maurice (Jada) Myers of Danville, VA and the late Kevin Myers. Jacqueline also leaves behind fifteen grandchildren whom she loved with all her heart. She made it plain that they were not to call her grandma. They affectionately called her “ma”. Jacqueline also leaves to cherish a special friend Mandell Dickerson and a host of other family and friends.

Jackie was full of life and never met a stranger. She was a true DIVA. If she had a problem with you, she had no problem letting you know it. Although she only birthed five children, she was the village to so many others. She was always the life of the party. It wasn’t anything strange to hear her sing Step By Step and Exodus. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her but her memory will live on through each of us.

 

Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am a diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there.

I Did Not Die.

 

-Mary Elizabeth Frye
