Jacki Ricksecker May 28, 1933 - July 27, 2012

Jacquelyn Ricksecker was born May 28, 1933 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Don and Sylvia Wall McDaniel. Jacki loved growing up in Portland, Oregon, where the family relocated, graduating from West Linn High School and attending Stephens University in Columbia, Missouri and the University of Oregon in Eugene.

She raised her family in Cottage Grove, Oregon, with Jim Pinardi, where she enjoyed her Ladies' Club membership at Hidden Valley Golf Course, bridge clubs, dance club, her Bohemia Mining Days GoldDiggers and Prospectors activities, and her many friends.

Jacki married Jim "Rick" Ricksecker in 1979, making their home in Phoenix, Arizona. In addition to golf, Rick encouraged her to pursue an old passion, where she discovered joy as a piano and organ teacher, endearing her to many of her students, even today.

In 1992, Jacki moved to Central Oregon to be nearer her family. She will be missed by her children, Jan Pinardi, Jeff Pinardi, Jon and Stacey Pinardi; grandchildren Calli, Claire, Sean, Ryan, Max, and Tyler; sister-in-law Luanne Bye; her beloved border collie Tess; her caregiver Robin Young; and the many people whose lives she touched over the years.

To Jacki, the fun could be found in everything, she loved life, and the adventures each new day promised.
