Jacqueline was born on August 29, 1934, in Chicago, Illinois, and passed away peacefully on July 1, 2026, in Arlington Heights, surrounded by the love of her family.

Jacqueline was the beloved wife of the late Thomas P. Fleming, whom she missed dearly after his passing in 2007. She was the loving mother of Patricia, Thomas (Marianne), Kathleen (Ramon) Derobles, and Colleen Fleming, and was preceded in death by her beloved sons, Timmy and Michael, who welcomed her home to heaven.

She was a devoted and proud grandmother to Kelly (Jason), Kristi (Andy), JD (Jessica), Danielle (Danny), Danny, Samantha (Jake), Katie, Megan, and Scott (Tara). She was also the cherished great-grandmother of JT, Jayce, Grace, Tim, Gabriella, Brooklyn, and Chase, each of whom brought her endless pride and joy.

Jacqueline was the dear daughter of the late Thomas and Marie (nee Faller) Collins. She was also a loving sister to 8.

Family meant everything to Jacqueline. She devoted her life to caring for those she loved and was happiest when surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She treasured family gatherings, celebrated every milestone with pride, and created countless memories that will live on through those who knew and loved her. Her kindness, strength, unwavering love, and generous heart touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Although her family mourns her passing, they find comfort in knowing she has been reunited in heaven with her beloved husband, Tom, and her sons, Timmy and Michael. Her love, wisdom, and gentle spirit will continue to guide her family for generations to come.
