Jacqueline Harper

In loving memory of Jacqueline Harper, who graced this world with her presence on March 7, 1945, and left us peacefully on April 13, 2026. Born in the vibrant heart of Harlem, New York, Jacqueline was the cherished daughter of Walter Beasley and Mabel James. Her journey through life was one of resilience, grace, and an unwavering dedication to her family and community. Jacqueline was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Walter and Mabel, her husbands Eural Harper and Freddie Hawkins, and her siblings Carl, Jeffery, Leona, and Kenneth. She leaves behind a legacy of love and strength that is carried on through her devoted daughters, Peachie, Kellie, and Giji, who were the center of her world. Her family expanded with the arrival of her cherished grandchildren, Deyshaun, Terrence, Quadaun, Craig, and Carneiquea, who will forever hold fond memories of their grandmother’s warmth and laughter. Jacqueline's love extended even further into the lives of her 13 great-grandchildren: Jamique, Tashaia, Jermany, Tahkai, Aniya, Trejayce, Dallas, Sailor, Nazlee, Nayvi, Cy'iare, Inari, and Esiah, whose smiles brought her immense joy. Jacqueline also leaves behind her loving nephews, Kenneth and Anthony, and nieces, Nekia and Starqushia, all of whom she cherished deeply. The family acknowledges with gratitude all the close friends of Jacqueline who enriched her life with their companionship and support. Education was a cornerstone of Jacqueline’s life. She attended Whatley JHS in Harlem, and her pursuit of knowledge led her to the College of New Rochelle, where she earned a Master’s Degree. Her passion for helping others guided her into a long and fulfilling career in the health field, where she touched countless lives with her compassion and dedication. Known for her quick wit and radiant smile, Jacqueline had an undeniable flair for fashion, always surrounding herself with the finest things. Her impeccable style and grace were reflections of the vibrant spirit she embodied in every aspect of her life. A Celebration of Life service will be held in honor of Jacqueline on April 25, 2026, at 960 Grand Concourse, Bronx, New York 10451, apt #6H. Friends and family are invited to join in remembering and celebrating the indelible mark she left on our hearts.
