Jackie Marlene Pace

November 2, 1937 - March 31, 2022

Jackie Marlene Robertson Pace, age 84, passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, March 31, 2022, with her children by her side. Born in Greenville, South Carolina, on November 2, 1937, she was the daughter of the late Rufus Jackson and Frances Hood Robertson. She was one of four children. After marrying her beloved Ansel M. Pace on June 21, 1955, they celebrated 64 years of marriage until his passing in 2019. She is survived by her children: Sharon Dilworth (Barry), Glenn M. Pace (Tina), Leigh Ann Reese (Michael); grandchildren: Shannon McCauley (Travis), Erin Price (Justin), Kristen Pace, Caroline Reese, Adam Reese; great-grandchildren: Hollis McCauley, Ansel Price. While raising her children, she was a selfless wife and mother. She always worked a full time job, but still made sure her family started and ended every day with a hot meal. In her later years, much of her time was spent in her home with her grandchildren. Marlene was a member of Enoree Baptist Church, and retired from years of work at IWANNA. In addition to her parents and husband, she is also predeceased by her siblings: Donald Robertson, Judy Haselden, and Kathy Coleman. The family is grateful to her many caregivers, her niece Peggy, Tonya, Linda, LaWanda, and Hannah. A special thank you to Amedisys Hospice nurse Gretel and aide Valerie.
