Jacquie Fajans

Jacquie Fajans unexpectedly "blasted on" to her next adventure on February 9, 2015 surrounded by friends at Mission Hospital. She will be remembered by many friends and family across the country, as far as Hawaii. Born September 22, 1944 in Brooklyn, NY, she worked and traveled as an Ultrasound professional for over 40 years finally retiring to Asheville, NC. Her spiritual beliefs and guidance helped her to achieve relationships with others that made positive, deep, lasting impacts. In Asheville, she will be most remembered by her active role in the area Meet.up groups where she led and participated in events on a regular basis. This is tremendous loss for her friends and family. She is survived by her sisters, JoEllen (Kirk) Dunklee, of Charlottesville, VA, and Diane (Wendell) Stewart, of Clay NY; nieces, Jill Thomas, of Raleigh, NC and Kelly Stewart, of Clay, NY, along with nephews, Keith (Dori) Bischof, of Poughquag, NY, Adam (Wendy) Bischof, of Danbury, CT, and Jeffrey (Valerie) Stewart, of Syracuse, NY, as well as countless friends. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Jacquie's wonderful friends in Virginia and Asheville along with the staff of Mission Hospital, especially Palliative Care Physician's Assistant Dawn Garwood for all of her help during this difficult time. Groce Funeral Home on Patton Ave. is assisting the family.
