Jaci Holcomb in Fatal Automobile Accident



FALLS VILLAGE, CT - Jacqueline Patricia "Jaci" Holcomb, 30, of 154 Barnes Road, died May 24, 2007, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

She was born in Pittsfield, Mass., on March 4, 1977, daughter of W. James and Mary Ellen (Dombrowski) Holcomb.

Jaci was a graduate of the Housatonic Valley Regional High School in Falls Village. She was last employed as the office manager of Dr. Jack Gish in West Hartford and was also a certified nursing assistant. Anyone who met Jaci probably never forgot her.

Jaci lived life to the fullest and always on her own terms. Her varied interests included race cars, big tractors and even bigger trucks. Her love of animals and the outdoors was surpassed only by her love of children, family and her many friends.

In addition to her mother and father, Jaci is survived by her sister, Jennifer Holcomb of Hartford.

 

Jaci, along with her sister, worked alongside her mother, show manager, and father helping put on the CT Morgan Horse Show. 

A service of remembrance will be held on Friday, June 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the home of Jaci's parents at 154 Barnes Road, Falls Village.

Memorial donations may be sent to the New York Foundling, 590 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10011.

Arrangements are under the care of the Newkirk-Palmer Funeral Home, 118 Main St., North Canaan, CT 06018.
