Jacqueline “Jacki” Gene Blanton-Boone, age 69, of La Vergne, TN, went to be with her lord

and Savior on Sunday, March 8th, 2026, at the Alive Hospice of Murfreesboro, TN.

Katie(Hayes) Taylor. She married Jerry L. Boone, on September 16th, 2011. Together they

shared 14 years of marriage.

Jacki was a member of Heritage Baptist Church of Smyrna, Tennessee where she was a former

Sunday school teacher.

Jacki treasured her grandchildren above all and delighted in every moment spent with them.

She found peace in attending church and joy in the crafts she created with her own hands.

Music also filled her home and her heart, especially the voices of Elvis Presley, Toby Keith,

Loretta Lynn, and many others. Whilst she had love for music, people who knew her knew that

Jacki held a special fondness for frogs as well, which were her favorite of all creatures. They

never failed to brings smile to her face. In addition to the small things that brought out her

smile, she had a certain beloved tradition that she never missed. Whenever she visited her

family in Chicago a trip to PePe’s was definitely a must. She always said it tasted better there

than it ever could in Tennessee. Jacki was certainly loved by many, and will be forever missed.

Heaven gained yet another angel.
