Jacqueline Intravaia

Jackie Intravaia passed away on November 12, 2025 surrounded by her family after a frustratingly disappointing battle with cancer. She fought her cancer like she fought everything else, with fierceness, strength, class, grace and when that failed, disappointment, tears and a lot of swear words. She was the entire world to her family who loved her deeply and miss her spirit, spunk, sarcasm, singing, dancing and love.

Jackie is survived by her parents, Cheryl and Paul, her brother, Chris, her grandfather, James Erdman, her aunt, uncle and cousin, Cyntha, Doug, and Brandon Overton, her great aunt and uncle, Debbie and Tom Erdman, her friends, and her four fur babies, Zoe, Dakota, Charlie, and Bennett.

We take heart in knowing that her grandmother Jean, and her beloved dog, Cardi are now with her forever and she is free to do the things that became too difficult in this life. We pray Jackie finds peace and joy with this transition from life and she can once again tend her ridiculously large garden, shop to her heart's content, wear all her favorite clothes and shoes, redecorate another room, take care of people she loved, play with and love on her dogs, drive her Jeep too fast with the music blaring out the window, sing and dance to her favorite music, eat her favorite foods, and sit on her porch and watch each sunset without pain. She will remain in our hearts forever and we will forever miss our baby girl, Jackie Jade, until the end of time.

In lieu of flowers or donations, Jackie would want you to hug your loved ones a little tighter, tell them you love them, buy flowers for them while they are alive, perform a random act of kindness, sing your favorite song out loud and dance while you are doing it, adopt a rescue animal (or four) to love and spoil, and get out of the fast lane if you can't keep up with traffic.

Private family services will be held.
