Jacquelyn “Jackie” Hietala
March 24, 1955 – December 10, 2024
Jackie “Bridget” was a fierce and loving mother, taken from us too soon at the young age of 69 on December 10th, 2024. Jackie was a wonderful mother and mother-in-law who was always there when we needed her the most, offering support, wisdom and love in abundance. A friend to many, she touched the lives of all who knew her. She was a cherished member of St. James Catholic Church in Mukwonago and leaves behind a legacy of kindness and strength.
Jackie was preceded in death by her husband, Ronald Hietala; her father and mother, John and Jacquelyn Kempski.
Jackie is survived by 2 sons, Kurt (Samantha) and Jace (Rebecca); 4 grandchildren, Cooper, Addison, Raelynn and Paisley; 2 special 4-footed grand-kitties, Sherby and Tink; many family and friends.
A service celebrating Jackie’s life will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, December 27, at St. James Catholic Church (830 E. Veteran’s Way, Mukwonago, WI). Visitation will be from 10:00 AM until the time of the Mass, where family and friends are invited to remember a life that, albeit was too short, was truly a gift to us all.
