Jacqueline Joan Haupt
On March 9, 2010, Mrs. Jacqueline Joan Haupt (nee Smedley) passed away peacefully at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops, BC at the age of 68 years.
Jacque is survived by her loving husband Larry, daughters Jodi (Murray) Beamish of Trail, BC and Heidi (Lawrence) Cheung of Edmonton, AB and son Dennis (Tracy) of Kamloops. She will be remembered by her grandchildren Matthew Beamish, Avery and Oliver Cheung; also by her sister Gwen Booy, her brothers Bruce (Veronica) Smedley and George (Karen) Smedley and her cousin Brian Dopson.
Jacqueline is predeceased by her father and mother Jack and Joan Smedley and her grandson Nathan Beamish.
Jacque was born in Williams Lake, BC. Her family later moved to Trail, BC where she graduated from JL Crowe High School. She moved to Kamloops in 1968 with daughter Jodi and began work at Agriculture Canada, where she met Larry. In 1972 they eloped to the Hitchin’ Post in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Her bouquet was a sheaf of wheat gathered in a nearby field. After Heidi and Dennis were born she went back to work, this time with the Ministry of Social Services. Jacque worked with the Ministry until 1993 when she was first diagnosed with cancer. After years of remission she was again struck with cancer and taken from us.
Jacque loved to quilt and visit with her many friends from quilting. She was an avid reader and enjoyed sketching and learning to paint water colours. Her creations have enriched us all in many ways. The greatest thing we will miss is being greeted by her beautiful smile.
There will be no funeral service by request.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S., Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 or the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, Cancer Services Fund, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC
V2C 2T1.
The family wishes to express sincere gratitude to Dr. Avanessian, the staff at Royal Inland Hospital and the staff at Kamloops Hospice Home. Their wonderful care sustained both Jacque and Larry, and the family, over many years.
Bev and I extend our deepest sympathy. She will indeed be missed.
I worked with Jacque at Social Services. She was a great pleasure to be around and hugely competent at her job.
Jacque and I always enjoyed ribbing each other about being born in Williams Lake only days apart and how they had to kick me out of the hospital so Jacque could arrive and have the room.
All our very best.
Bill and Bev
Larry and family,
We are so sorry to hear about Jacque. She was a wonderful person and I enjoyed working with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the family. I first met Jacque in grade 9. May the knowledge that she is no longer suffering be a comfort.

What a lovely picture of Jacque (or Jackie as we remember her from high school)! So sorry we were not able to see her in person at last year’s 50th grad reunion in Trail. My condolences to her family who have obviously lost someone very special.
To Jacques family I send my deepest sympathy for your loss.
I remember Jaque in junior high when she and Gwen first arrived in Trail. Deepest sympathies.
I went to school with Jackie starting in grade seven in Trail Junior High. The last time I ran into Jackie was at Art Knapps in Kamloops a little over a year ago and she was sorry she couldn’t make it to our JLC reunion. She mostly spoke of her loving, caring husband who was her rock and of her amazing family who was always there for her. She looked beautiful as usual, was positive and did not complain about the situation she was in. I am so very sorry to hear about her passing and send my deepest sympathy to her family including Gwen who I haven’t seen in many years. Anne
Larry and family Thinking of you at this difficult time. The Inskip family
Larry and family,my deepest condolences on your loss, I first met Jacque at a Quilt retreat in Ashcroft about ten years ago and always enjoyed her company at Quilt Guild and other quilting functions. She always had a positive attitude about things and will greatly be missed by all her friends in the Quilting world.
Larry, When I saw you and Jacque in the Aberdeen Food Court, Jacque was that strong and positive indvidual we all grew to know. Her eyes danced as she spoke of her grandchildren and kids. Our sincerest condolences are sent to you and your family in your time of loss.
Larry and family – so sorry to hear of Jacque’s passing.
I (Marie) worked with Jacque at MCFD,(through our Williams Lake office), and always appreciated what a helpful, positive, fun, and lovely lady she was.
Our correspondence of late, was through Xmas cards and letters, and it was always so nice to hear of all your great family get-togethers. I am sure you will have so many wonderful memories always. Deepest sympathies, Take Care, Bill and Marie Grisdale, Wms. Lake.
I was so sorry to hear of Jacque’s passing. I had hoped to renew our high school friendship at the reunion last year, but unfortunately that was not to be. My deepest sympathy goes out to Larry and their family. I know you are going to miss her terribly, but her quilts and drawings will be treasurers you will have forever.
Larry,
I would like to pass on our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We are thinking of you during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Mark Eppler and family
Larry: our deepest condolences to you and your family. You are in our thoughts.
