Jackie D. Routh

Jackie D. Routh, 77, of Climax, was called to her forever home in heaven on November 6, 2023 surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

A memorial gathering will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 pm on Sunday, November 12, at George Brothers Funeral Service.

Jackie was born on December 25, 1945 to the late John and Mabel Burnell. She primarily worked in manufacturing and ultimately retired from Furnitureland South in High Point.

She is survived by her two daughters; Michelle Beasley (Greensboro), Angel Routh (Climax), and son John Routh (Climax); 5 grandchildren; 2 great grandchildren; her sisters Patsy Sizemore (Liberty) and Betty Colman (Jamestown); and life long best friend whom she loved dearly Genela McCraw.

Jackie was most known and admired as a hard worker, her honesty, her giving heart, and self sacrificing for her family. Many who truly knew her loved and appreciated never wondering where she stood on any subject. She wasn’t afraid to tell it like it truly was and now looking back she was most of the time right. Her children most admired her for instilling in us standing up for what you believe in, integrity, and compassion for those less fortunate in life.

Her greatest joy in life was her grandchildren and spending time outdoors; both brought her peace and comfort. Her grandchildren most admired her humor and silliness. She could make any situation comical and would do just about anything just to get a laugh.

She will be deeply missed by all who loved her for her.

In Lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in memory of Jackie to the Alzheimer’s Association.

The family would like to sincerely give thanks to Hospice of the Piedmont (Randolph) who provided excellent care and support to the family.
