Jacqueline J. (White) Cole

Jacqueline J. (White) Cole, 76, of Londonderry, NH, passed from this life into the arms of her loving Savior, Jesus Christ, on Tuesday August 4, 2026. Born on December 17, 1949 in Syracuse, NY, she was the daughter of the late Cedric and Esther (Clark) White and was raised in Central Square, NY.

Professionally, Jackie started as a hairdresser just out of high school in NY. After moving to NH, she worked for different retail establishments including Sears for 24 years, from which she retired in 2014.

Jackie loved music, serving faithfully as organist for both the First Baptist Church of Hudson, NH (52 years) and the OES Pilgrim Chapter 55 (42 years). She was a gifted singer, choir director, and member of the Dove Singers for decades.

Jackie was talented, especially when it came to crafts. She loved to quilt, sew, knit, and try new things as they came along. She also enjoyed games, often playing cards with family and friends.

When asked recently what she would want to say in her obituary she said, “Tell them ‘I love you all’.” That was Jackie. Loving and beloved by all who knew her.

She is survived by her daughter, Tracey Bachand (John) of Allenstown, NH, her son Terrance Cole (Victoria) of Epping, NH, her granddaughters Alyssa and Ruthie, and great grandsons Kayden and Robbie. She is also survived by her siblings Charlotte Stroud, Patricia Berg (Louie), Betty Herloski (Robert), Ronald White (Linda), Roger White (Shelley), William White, her “adopted” sister Janice Greene, and her beloved Aunt Ginny (“Edna”), as well as numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of 46 years Bruce M. Cole in 2015, and by her brother Robert White.

Following cremation, a memorial service will be held by family on August 22, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. in the First Baptist Church, 236 Central Street, Hudson, NH with a luncheon to follow. Private interment with her husband Bruce will be in the NH State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen, NH at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the First Baptist Church, 236 Central Street, Hudson, NH 03051.
