In loving memory of

Jackie Lynette Hoskins
April 10, 1949 - October 24, 2017

Jackie Lynette Hoskins passed away peacefully and went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, October 24th,
2017 at 6:30pm in Auburn, WA while surrounded by her loved ones. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Jackie was born in Dublin, Georgia on April 10th, 1949 to her sweet Father and Mother, Thomas Curl and Juanita Curl. She met her husband of 50 years, Joseph Hoskins, at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia while working at a pizzeria in 1968. They immediately fell in love and were married three months later on August 8th of 1968 in Savannah, Georgia. The two lovebirds later moved to the South Seattle area in Washington state where they eventually settled in to their home in Auburn, WA for the last 36 years.

Jackie truly loved living life. She enjoyed traveling, especially back home to Georgia to visit her family. Immediately upon her arrival there she would make a stop at Krystal's, a well-known burger restaurant back home. Jackie just loved fishing (especially for Salmon), eating Catfish, boiled peanuts, had a great love for cooking, reading books, watching scary movies, and loved to nurture her grandchildren. She
found joy in going out to dinner with her family and friends and going to the casino. Jackie enjoyed to talk on the telephone with her friends and family while watching the same television show together and they would smile, laugh and be entertained together for hours. She always had a positive attitude no matter what challenges life threw at her. Jackie accomplished many lifetime goals throughout her years here on Earth, but most recently she finally fulfilled her lifelong dream with her husband, Joseph, by the purchase of their dream home on an airstrip.

Jackie Lynette Hoskins (Curl) left behind many loved ones and is survived by her beloved Husband, Joseph Hoskins; Daughter, Nicole Hoskins; Grandchildren, Craig Coonradt and wife Ricki Coonradt, Corey Ann Coonradt, and Dylan Coonradt, and two Great-grandchildren, Shane and Oliver. She is also survived by her Mother and Father in law Nancy Hoskins and Joseph Hoskins Sr; Sisters, Janice Hightower, Pam Chapman, Linda Rock and sister in law and best friend, Rozanne Martin; Brothers Russell Curl and brother in law, Michael Hoskins; her Aunt Sherry and Uncle Larry; two nieces, Melodie Martin and Tiffany Soto and her husband Andres Soto; Grand nieces and nephews, Estrellita Soto, Andrew Soto, and Ella Soto. Jackie also left behind her favorite dog, Jake, whom will surely miss her dear companionship. She is preceded in death by her birth parents Thomas Curl and Juanita Curl, along with her Brother Ricky Curl.



Fly High Our Sweet Jackie Lynette

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest,
It broke our hearts to see you go, God only takes the best.

They say that memories are golden, Well maybe that is true,
But we never wanted memories,
We only wanted you.

Your life was love and labour, Your love for your family true, You did your best for all of us, We will always remember you.

We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore, We did our duty to the end,
'Til we could do no more.

In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away,
And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you could not stay.

God came Tuesday and took you home, You are now freed from any pain,
While it breaks our hearts that you have gone,
Comfort comes in knowing that we'll be joined together again.

"I will never forget the excitement Tiff and I both felt when you used to pick us up from elementary school in that Red Honda of yours. We would rock out to your Billy Ray Cyrus tape & sing "Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart..." at the top of our lungs as we drove down the hill on the way home. One thing I will always remember was that contagious laughter of yours & we seemed to always have a lot of good times together no matter the occasion. We could turn the simplest things into humor together & uncontrollable giggles. While sharing a room in Vegas with me, Mom & Tiff years ago, I will never forget how all 4 of us could NOT STOP laughing about Rob Ka-nob & the word "hankerin"! It makes me smile just thinking about that night & the time we had. You are the reason I love cheesecake with cherries on top. I will always think of you when a blocked number calls my phone. I will miss you raving about everything I cook at holiday dinners. Most importantly though, I am grateful to know that you are no longer in pain, even if you weren't one to complain. I hope your enjoying your Coca Cola & court tv, Aunt Jackie. Love & miss you. "

"Having had Jackie in my life for so long has been one of my life's greatest blessings. So many thoughts and experiences make it so difficult to easily express. I'm going to miss our conversations which always seemed to make her laugh, it made me happy that she could find my sense of humor enjoyable. Her feisty personality was always present and she never held back if the situation was warranted, which seemed often. Jackie, you will be genuinely missed and will be loved forever. "

"Grandma you were the most forgiving kind beautiful amazinggg woman I know. I loved how I would always come stay the night and watch American idol we would phone in at least a million times to vote for the person we wanted to win! You showed me and taught me so many things. We would always watch lifetime judge Judy even made me watch the exorcist which I'll never forget! But made up for it by showing me titanic! Lol we would bake blackberry pies make fudge you would help me collect those glass figurines from the tea bag boxes which I still have. We would always plant flowers in the back yard. You took me everywhere and I loved every minute of it I will always be your lil mag. I could go on forever but I'll just finish up by saying me and Oliver love you with all of our hearts and he will always know who you are and what you have done for us . Some people are destined to be angels and I can't think of anyone who could do a better job than you. I believe god felt and feels the same way. We will meet again "

"I was so blessed to be Jackies friend for almost 50 years. When she first moved to Seattle I quickly realized she had a ton of clothes that fit me perfectly and we would laugh and ply dress up for hours. She gave me many tips on how to do my hair and make-up but I could never look as beautiful as she did naturally. She was kind and generous. When we were in our 20's after a night of dancing she would open her house to me so that we could stay up till the wee hours and watch TV; mostly the "Little Rascals" or "Fawlty Towers" and we would laugh for hours. She was a great cook and generously would whip up a meal on short notice no matter the time of day. In our later years we would call each other very late at night so we could watch scary movies "together". Jackie also enjoyed watching political news stories and "People's Court"! Both types of programs gave us many good laughs! Jackie was one of a kind. In recent years she endured many difficult health issues but no matter what happened to her she never complained. I loved her dearly and I will never forget her. Love, Rozanne "
