A. Jacqueline Chamberlain

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – A. Jacqueline Chamberlain, born Feb. 13, 1934, passed away peacefully on Sept. 12, 2024, in Virginia Beach, Va. Born and raised in Waterville, Maine, she was a proud graduate of Waterville High School’s class of 1951. Jackie, as she was affectionately known, was the beloved daughter of Warren and Ursula Marcoux.

In October 1953, she married the love of her life, Robert J. Chamberlain. Together, they built a family that included four children, Terri Hill (Wayne), James, Tom (Barbara), and Heidi McDonald (Michael). Jackie cherished her role as a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, always putting her family at the heart of everything she did.

Her legacy lives on in her six grandchildren, Christopher, Adam (Megan), Ryan (Natalie), Brooke (Michael Mogollon), Hayley, and Katee; and her seven great-grandchildren, Robert, Logan, Davis, Nash, Savannah, Maeve, and Mia.

Jackie is survived by her sister Louise Bowker (Mark), and their son Seth Foster; as well as her brother William (Stephanie) Marcoux and their daughters Brandy Smith and Sara Marcoux. She was predeceased by her husband Robert; her daughter, Terri; her granddaughter, Natalie; her sister Bernardine Rockwell, her half-sister, Virginia Witham, and her half-brother, Robert Marcoux.

Jackie worked for New England Telephone Company and later retired from a fulfilling career with the Maine State Legislature. She was a communicant member of Corpus Christi Parish, and her faith remained a guiding light throughout her life.

In her spare time, Jackie enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, cooking, crafting, reading, gardening, volunteering, going to the beach, and playing cards with friends and family. She enjoyed spending her winters in Florida with her husband, where they found peace and relaxation.

Her family and friends will forever cherish the memories they shared with her, and her loving spirit will live on in their hearts.
