Born on March 13, 1937, in Galt, Iowa, Jackie, the daughter of George and Maxine (Rice) Dutton, graduated from Riceville High School's Class of 1955. A few years later she began living in Mason City and raising three children. Once her kids left the nest, she found fulfillment as a live-in caregiver for the elderly, cherishing the opportunity to care for others and hear their stories.
In her youth, Jackie dedicated herself to crafting numerous quilts, leaving a lasting impression as her children fondly recall navigating around quilting supplies scattered throughout the house. Her love for reading blossomed during her time working at a library.
As the years passed, Jackie faced visual impairment, necessitating more support than she had anticipated. Transitioning to life at Good Shepherd altered her activities, with a newfound enjoyment of listening to the radio and television, especially when NASCAR races are on.
Jackie's perspective on a happy life was simple: "don't worry." True to her own advice, she embraced each day fully, remaining resilient in the face of challenges.
She was predeceased by : her sister Carmen. She is survived by : her children, Melanie Muth (Tammy Steinwandt), Ben Gott (Joyce) and Melissa Gott; her grandchildren, Charity Muth, David Muth (Natalie), Jessica Gott, Nathaniel Gott, Cody Gott, Chris Wright, Dallas McDaniel, Dustin Gott (Christina), Tristan Hansan, Daniel Joslin and Dillon Gott; her great grandchildren, Gracie, Landry, Avery Muth, Kayden Cerwinske and Kayleigh Gott; and her siblings, Richard Dutton (Jeanie), Sandy Krause and Karen Johnson (Bob).
