      Jacqueline Patricia Massoud, 91, a native and lifelong Nashua resident, widow of Edward M. Massoud, passed away peacefully Friday morning, October 7, 2016 at the Ridgewood Center in Bedford after a period of declining health.

      In her leisure time, Jackie loved entertaining her family and friends, dancing and music, and enjoyed vacation trips to Wells and Kennebunk, Maine and Hyannis, Massachusetts. She also enjoyed candlepin bowling in her younger years. What gave Jackie the most joy in her life was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren whom she adored. She will be dearly missed by so many. Mrs. Massoud was a communicant of St. Christopher Church.

Massoud and Brooke E. Massoud of Nashua; her sister, Claire Dreyer of District Heights, MD; also many nieces, nephews and cousins.

At peace reunited with your Dad. Dancing in heaven together. Keeping your brother close by their side. The memories will last forever. Truly a difficult time that you and your family will get thru together. Hug them all tightly. Rejoice and smile at those memories every day.

It has been a very long journey. Now you can rest in peace with your husband Eddie and son Mike. You and Eddie were always so nice to me, even when Mike and I were up to no good. Peace and may God Bless Pam (magoo) and her family.

So so sorry to learn of Mom's death. Have many many fond memories to the time we spent with Jackie and Ed and of course all of the children and grandkids. Am sure they are sipping their favorite cocktail with Bill. My love to all of you, Pat Flynn Tremblay

I'm so sorry, Pam. I loved both your folks. They were so so good to me. Your Dad was quite the dancer and your mother was the kindest, sweetest woman I know. BeSt tuna sandwich ever. She converted me to Hellmans. Xo
