Jacqueline Jacques Sang

Jacqueline Jacques Sang passed away peacefully on March 4, 2019. She was the wife of the late James Harold Sang for 52 years, and the daughter of the late Robert T. Jacques and the late Mabel Hobbs Jacques. She was predeceased by her younger brother, Robert T. Jacques, Jr. (Gernine).

Jackie was born on August 31, 1938 in New Orleans, and attended Ursuline Academy. She received her B.A. in elementary education from the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she was a member of Chi Omega, Zeta Chapter.

After marrying, and thanks to Jim's early service in the army, and later his career as an insurance executive, Jackie found herself moving frequently; from Tacoma, WA to northern France, then back to New Orleans. After that, the family headed north to Novelty, OH, east to Boston, and west to Dallas before settling in Mount Pleasant, SC. Jackie made lifelong friendships everywhere she lived, and considered these friendships to be her greatest treasure after her family.

An avid tennis player, Jackie played for 35 years at clubs where ever they lived. She and her late husband were members of the Camellia Club of New Orleans and later were active in the Dallas Daylily Society. Jackie began breeding and showing English Bulldogs in the late 1970's and delighted in naming them. Bruiser, Ogre, Nurse Ratched, Garbo and Sluggo were a few of her favorites. Jackie and Jim both supported their children's love of horses and accompanied them to weekend horse shows for eighteen years.

Jackie relished researching the history of the homes she lived in, from their 1865 Ohio farm house to their 1735 home south of Boston, and having them registered historically. In addition to her love of history, Jackie was a voracious reader; often reading several books a week, volunteering as a tutor at the local elementary school and participated in various book clubs.

Jackie is survived by her brother, Kenneth W. Jacques (Andree), her children, Elizabeth Sang Watson (Daniel), James Britton Sang, and Wendy Sang Kelly, as well as her grandchildren, Jonathan Marshall Sang, Mary Elizabeth Sang, James Davis Sang, Clara Rigby Kelly and Corinne Jacques Kelly.

The family would like to thank Jackie's neighbors and friends for their support and love, and wishes to recognize the kindness and compassion shown by her caregiver and friend Teffany Mitchell.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, March 12, 2019 in Christ Our King Catholic Church at 11:00 am. Interment will be held in New Orleans at St. Patrick's Cemetery at a date to be announced.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Christ Our King Catholic Church Senior Ministry, 1149 Russell Drive, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464.
