Obituary of Jacqueline Hutchinson-Holmberg

JACQUELINE HUTCHINSON-HOLMBERG was born on February 19, 1933, in Dallas, Texas, the oldest of Robert and Katherine Feinberg's four children. Jackie spent her early years in Vineland, N.J., and moved to the Tampa Bay area in 1956. She passed away early Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017, in Tarpon Springs, Fla., at the age of 84. Jackie is survived by her husband of 16 years George Holmberg; her 3 daughters Valerie Hutchinson of Duluth, Ga., Karen Gerlach of Pinellas Park, and Darlene Hutchinson Biehl of Alabama; and 2 sons-in-law Mark Biehl and George Gerlach. But life got even better with the births of her 2 granddaughters Liz Walker (and Shawn Mileti) and Jackie Walker, and her 2 great-grandchildren Troy Brady Walker and Geneva Anne Mileti, all of Pinellas County. She is also survived by her sister Lorraine Halferty (and Jimmy) of Vineland, N.J., brother Maurice "Bub" Feinberg (and Donna) of Central Florida, and sister-in-law Shirley Feinberg of Brooksville. Plus, she was loved by more than 60 nieces and nephews. Jackie was preceded in life by her parents, her husband James Frank Hutchinson, brother Richard "Dick" Feinberg, and many sisters/brothers-in-law. Well-known for her incredible talents, Jackie loved cooking and sewing. She worked for many years as the bookkeeper for companies like Webb City, Montgomery Ward, James Dockerty General Contracting, Midway Plumbing, and Duffy Hutchison's commercial seafood business. In the 1970s-90s, the family was active at Harvest Temple Church of God in Indian Rocks, as well as Seminole Community Church, where she also served the churches in secretarial/accounting roles. Jackie's 3 daughters are all graduates of Keswick Christian School in St. Petersburg, Fla. Jackie personified the industrious, devoted woman described in Proverbs 31. She was selfless, and supportive of her husband George's love of painting and helped with local art shows he has hosted over the years. The family wishes to thank the staffs of Peninsula Rehab and North Pinellas Hospital. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to Suncoast Hospice in memory of Jackie Hutchinson-Holmberg (Suncoast Hospice, 164 West Lake Rd., Palm Harbor FL 34684 or visit www.suncoasthospice.org).
