Jacqueline L. Duval

Jacqueline L. Duval, devoted and loving wife, mother, grandma and great-grandma, passed away on June 3, 2023 at Harborview Senior Communities at the age of 94.

Jackie was born in Milford, NH, the daughter of the late Mario and Winifred (Bowler) Bianchi. Jackie graduated from Milford High School, went to secretarial school, and became a medical secretary in a local doctor’s office.

She met the love of her life, Francis, through her sister Lucy who was married to Fran’s best friend, Bob Locke. Jackie and Fran were married Feb. 4 in Amherst, NH. Jackie became an Air Force wife as Fran was enlisted in the USAF. She became adept at moving, quickly setting down roots, and making friends throughout all his changes in posts. When Fran was stationed in Minnesota they welcomed their daughter, Sandy. His next post was North Dakota, where they welcomed their daughter, Sheri.

Eventually the family moved to Old Lyme, CT after Fran’s retirement from the Air Force. While in Old Lyme, Jackie was a member of Saint Ann’s Episcopal Church and for many years she was the Altar Guild Directress and Altar Guild Treasurer. She also worked as a dental secretary, a clerk in the Old Lyme Town Clerk’s Office, and utilized her sewing skills working at the Seam Shoppe.

The Duvals lived in Old Lyme for 29 years before moving to Williston, VT to be closer to their children and to watch their grandchildren grow. Jackie served with her husband Fran as beloved volunteers at Fletcher Allen Health Care for 15 years, found community through participating in Fletcher Allen’s Cardiac Rehab program and were also members of All Saints Episcopal Church in South Burlington. Jackie and Fran were once featured in a local TV segment for their dedicated volunteer work.

Jackie is predeceased by her husband of 66 years, Francis Duval and her parents, Mario and Winifred (Bowler) Bianchi and sister Lucille MacDonald.

She is survived by daughters, Sandra Aldrich of Milton, VT and Sheri Youngberg and her husband Brian of Richmond VT. She is also survived by four granddaughters, Karin Bell and her husband Ted Myotte of South Burlington, Heather Allen and her husband James of Hardwick, Kelly Youngberg of Colchester, and Pryscilla Youngberg and her spouse Sam of Essex Junction. Jackie also leaves behind greatgrandchildren: Owen, Milo and John Allen, Colin Myotte, and Wilhelmina Youngberg. Jackie is also survived by beloved nephew David Locke of Palm Springs, CA along with several other nieces and nephews.

Her family will remember her for her strength, strong will, devotion, and love which she displayed until the very end. They are comforted by the knowledge that Jackie and Fran are together once more.

There will be no calling hours. A Memorial service will be on Saturday, July 8 at 11 a.m. at All Saints Episcopal Church, 1250 Spear Street, South Burlington, VT. In lieu of flowers, the family requests support for UVM Home Health and Hospice. Dona-
