Jacquelyn Tena Kay Fisher, affectionately known to many as "Ms. Sassy," left this world peacefully on July 19, 2026, at the age of 87. Born on February 8, 1939, in the quaint town of Macclenny, FL, Jacquelyn was the cherished daughter of Thomas and Corrine Burton. She spent her early years surrounded by the warmth and love of her family, who instilled in her the values of kindness, humor, and resilience. Jacquelyn's life was a testament to her vibrant spirit and unwavering dedication to those she loved. She shared a profound and enduring love with her beloved husband, Mark Fisher, who predeceased her. Together, they built a life filled with laughter, dancing, and shared dreams. Jacquelyn was known for her passion for childcare, a career that allowed her to nurture and guide countless young lives. Her dedication to her work and community was so impactful that she was recognized by Congressman Hakeem Jeffries for her outstanding and invaluable service. To those who knew her, Jacquelyn was a woman of frankness and wit, always ready with a quick retort or a humorous observation. Her lively spirit earned her the nickname "Ms. Sassy," a title she wore with pride. Her cooking brought joy to many, and her love for dancing was infectious, often drawing others to join in her zest for life. Jacquelyn's legacy is carried on by her surviving family members: Lottie Bennett, Robert Burton and his wife Dottie, Johnny Newsom, and Willie Burton. She was a beloved aunt to Audrey Burton and Kayla Burton, and her memory will be cherished by Madison Burton and Christopher Ebert. Though she did not have grandchildren, her nurturing nature touched many young hearts, leaving an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her. A celebration of Jacquelyn's remarkable life will be held on August 5, 2026, at 4:00 PM at the Roberson and Brown Funeral Home.
