With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jacqueline Marie Gautier, who- with profound

strength and unwavering bravery-fought a life long battle with sickle cell anemia until her final

rest on October 28th, 2026 at Onslow Memorial Hospital.

Born in New York City, July 16 1969. Jacqueline’s multifaceted personality and magnetic charm

has left an impression on everyone who’s been graced with meeting her. An avid lover of

fashion, beauty, film and dedicated collector of memorabilia from her many interests,

Jacqueline’s outgoing personality, tenacious spirit and whimsy never faltered despite her illness.

She loved watching b-list horror films with her daughter would always give a review afterwards.

She’d sing to her plants and would dance to music while cooking meals. She loved making

connections with others and hearing their stories, always listening with genuine enthusiasm and

curiosity that would make anyone feel safe to be themselves around her. A loving mother, sister,

daughter, friend. Jacqueline’s memory will live on forever in our hearts and she will be eternally

missed.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Aaron Gautier of Jacksonville. She is survived by

her daughter, Kayla Kee of Jacksonville; parents Ramon and Nellie Gautier of Jacksonville;

sister Elena Resto and brother-in-law Sergeant Major Rudy Resto, USMC, Retired, of Murrieta

CA; Lizzette Gautier and brother-in-law Jorge Vega of Richlands; nieces and nephews Delilah,

Giovanni, Vincent, Henry, Elena Rose, Genevieve and extended family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM in the chapel of Jones Funeral Home-Jacksonville.
