Nancy Jaquet Obituary
Nancy P. Jaquet, 83, of Oregon, IL, went to be with our Lord on November 30, 2022, while surrounded by her loving family. Nancy was born January 10, 1939 in Dixon, Illinois, the daughter of Charles and Gladys Kerz.
Nancy was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Joanne Joseph; and brothers-in-law, Loren Jaquet and Neil Jaquet. She is survived by her loving husband, Wayne E. Jaquet; along with sisters, Jean Aldag-Daniels, Patricia Carbaugh (Gary); sisters-in-law, Donna Jaquet and Demetra Jaquet.
Nancy was a remarkable mother to Yvonne Jaquet/Dummer (Alan), Thomson, IL, Lova Sutton (Stan) Byron, IL and Yvette Krone (Shawn), Henderson, CO. She took pride in being the grandmother to Tiffany Nix (Brent) Byron, IL, Alicia Groen (Bill) Byron, IL, Samantha Berry, Oregon, IL, Amber Stivers, Lebanon, OR, Nolan Krone, Pinellas Park, FL, Marine Corp Private Patrick Krone, currently of Henderson, CO, Yvonne Poloski (Jonathan) Sterling, IL, and Mary Mowry (Ryan) Loves Park, IL. Nancy has multiple nieces, nephews, and great-grandchildren who also were touched by her love and affection.
Nancy attended and graduated from Dixon High School in 1957 where she met her high school sweetheart Wayne Jaquet. They were married July, 1958 and eventually ended up residing in Anchorage, Alaska while Wayne was stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base. Nancy worked at Dixon National Bank after high school, and then the National Bank of Alaska until their return to Illinois in 1962. Shortly after, they moved the family to Byron, Illinois where their adventure transpired. Nancy has been a partner and entrepreneur with her husband for over 64 years, either through building and managing multiple business ventures in Byron, having exhibits at the “Pec Thing” or with the National Association of Aladdin Lamp Collectors as active members, collectors, and exhibitors of Aladdin Lamps. Nancy was involved with one of the original “Quilting Clubs” in Byron where they exhibited their quilts and other memorabilia at the “ByronFest”. Nancy enjoyed nature, antique collecting, gardening, crafting and painting. Her other talents were baking, candy making, and creating the most wonderful pies in the Midwest. Other favorite interests were Disney movies, shopping and spending time with her sister-in-law, Donna Jaquet.
