Jackie Krish Tallman passed away Saturday, October 29, 2016 with her loving husband Wes by her side. A Memorial Mass will be held Friday, November 4, 2016 at 11:00 AM at St John Catholic Church in Davison, Michigan.
Born to John and Alice Krish on December 27, 1935, Jackie was a proud graduate of Bendle High School, class of 1953, where she excelled in athletics as well as being a majorette for the marching band. Her competitive juices continued to flow into her 50's playing softball and an-choring her bowling team.
In 1997, Jackie was a regular at the bingo hall in Davison where Wes Tallman was calling the numbers. Well, Wes must have called the right number as they soon married that fall. From then on her life has been filled with cross-country trips with stops that just happened to be near casinos. She and Wes loved their RVing lifestyle and made friends wherever they went.
We are saddened that she has left us but grateful that we have had her in our lives. Jackie will be sadly missed by: husband Wesley Tallman, sons Michael(Bonnie) Scott Jr and Gregory Scott, siblings Madeline (John) O'Neill, Carolyn (Bud) Mahaffey and John (Sherry) Krish, grandson Michael Scott III and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A very special thanks to Cousin Veletta Damon for her love shown to Jackie during her time in home hospice.
