Jacqueline Hourihan

On December 28, 2024, Jacqueline Marie Hourihan went to heaven, with her children by her side. Jackie was born on July 9, 1954, the daughter of late Leo J Hourihan Jr. and Charolette B McGibbon Hourihan. Jackie was born in Massena and raised on the farm in North Lawrence, and she always was on an adventure. Jackie graduated from St. Lawrence Central High School in 1972. After graduation she worked at Wards Hotel until her marriage to Fred Cockayne who blessed her with her oldest son, Shaun,  which ended in divorce. After her divorce she went back to work at Wards and eventually married Dennis Moody, from which she was blessed with her son Jeffery and daughter Chrissy. That marriage ended in divorce.

Jackie was a devoted mother, grandmother and aunt. Besides the unwavering love for her children, cooking was her favorite hobby. She battled cancer several times over her lifetime and always came out on top. She was the toughest woman anyone will ever know. Jackie's latest diagnosis was more than her body could take. She didn't give up; her physical body just could not repair itself this time.
