Jacqueline Louise Worthley, 56, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away on August 16, 2026.

Jacqueline was born on October 24, 1969, in Dearborn, Michigan, the beginning of a full and adventurous life that would carry her across the country. Over the years she planted roots and made lasting memories in Sterling Heights, Wixom, and Macomb Township, Michigan; Eagan, Minnesota; and Cypress, Texas, before settling into the sunshine of Vero Beach, Florida, the place she was proud to call home.

A proud graduate of Sterling Heights High School, Jacqueline went on to earn a Business degree from Northwood University, carrying with her a lifelong love of learning and a determination to make the most of every opportunity in front of her. Before beginning her career, she answered the call to serve her country, proudly wearing the uniform of the United States Navy from 1988 to 1993. That same spirit of dedication and hard work followed her throughout her professional life, as she built a career to be proud of as a Commercial Real Estate professional with major organizations such as Ford Motor Land Corporation, Google, CBRE, and Electronic Data Systems. In the last chapter of her life, she worked as the property manager at the Vero Beach Outlets, a well-known shopping destination in the area. She was known for her ability to earn the respect and friendship of colleagues everywhere she went.

But more than her accomplishments, Jacqueline will be remembered for her heart. She was a devoted mother, a loving daughter, and a cherished sister whose warmth touched everyone lucky enough to know her. She leaves behind a family who loved her dearly and will carry her memory with them always: her mother, Deborah Wood of Vero Beach, Florida; her brother, Derek Wood of Bremerton, Washington; her son, Benjamin Worthley of Boise, Idaho; and her daughter, Sarah Worthley of Boise, Idaho. She was predeceased in August 2022 by her stepfather, Vito Marchese, who played an exceptionally important role in her life, and who was also cherished by many.

Jacqueline’s light touched many lives, and she will be deeply missed. Condolences may be shared online at www.millenniumcremationservice.com.
