Jacqueline Tess Connor

Jacqueline Connor, 25, of Papillion, NE, passed away on May 6, 2025.

Jackie was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend. Known for her infectious smile, her great laugh, and her compassionate spirit, she touched the lives of everyone who knew her. Her deep love for animals, particularly horses, was a defining part of her character, and she shared a special bond with her beloved cat, Henny.

A 2018 graduate of Papillion-LaVista South High School, Jackie worked at Phoenix Equestrian Center, where she contributed to the care and training of horses, a reflection of her deep passion for animals. She later worked as a phlebotomist for the Red Cross, where she found fulfillment in helping others. Additionally, Jackie worked as a cook and waitress at Shahi Restaurant, where her warmth and dedication made her a cherished member of the team.

She is survived by her loving parents, Bill and Robin Connor; her brothers, Owen, Caleb, and Griffin; her grandparents, Tom and Jeanie Connor and Jay and Jocelyn Nowatzki; as well as her uncle Tom Connor, aunt Nancy Connor, uncle Bob Connor (Katharina), aunt Colleen Audas (Jim), aunt Colleen Mellen (Josh), and uncle Jay Nowatzki. Jackie also leaves behind her cousins, Alex, Dylan, Eston, Thea, Elias, Torin, Paige, Jack, Connor, Lily, and Harrison, all of whom she adored.

Jackie was preceded in death by her aunt, Marilyn Connor, whose memory will forever remain in their hearts.

Jackie's love, kindness, laughter, and joyful spirit will never be forgotten. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held on June 6, 2025. Visitation will begin at 10 AM, followed by the memorial service at 11 AM at Bethany Funeral Home, 8201 Harrison Street, LaVista, Nebraska.
