Jackie Marie Gines

Jackie Gines was a beloved matriarch of her unit, peacefully passed away on March 5, 2024, in her home in West Des Moines, Iowa surrounded by her loving family.

Jackie was born September 15, 1966, in Marvell, AR, the daughter of Darsey Gines, Sr and Ruby Lee Franklin. Jackie was educated in the Marvell Arkansas Community School System.

Jackie worked many jobs but found her liking in serving others while employed at Broadlawns Medical Centers. Jackie had great stories of working Armed Security in Arkansas (don't we know protecting was her style).

Jackie loved everything that meant hanging out with family and friends.

Jackie was a member of Christ Apostolic Temple under the pastorage of Late Presiding Bishop Jeremaih Reed for many years.

Jackie later found her servantship and peace at House of Refuge, Ames, IA under the spiritual leadership of Bishop Orlando McClain.

Jackie was a nonsense type of gal. She was the definition of “Knuck if you Buck and God’s able. She was the poster for “ride or die”. Many times, underestimated by others for her willingness to overcome what others would've and could've easily ran away from. Jackie was the epitome of strength and grace, navigating life's ups and downs with resilience and determination.

If you had the pleasure of hanging out with Jackie you know that her gathering wasn’t ending until a little down-home blues were played, dancing, laughing and Anita Baker telling us about that “Sweet Love”.

Jackie was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents, parents, brother Aaron Gines and her eldest son Jonthan Gines.

Jackie is survived by her son, Deamonte Gines of Windsor Heights, IA; her daughter Tiara Gines (Tirrell Young) of West Des Moines, Iowa; her bonus son Tony Bailey of Windsor Heights, IA, bonus daughters Melissa Waters of Des Moines, IA, Tremeshia Holder of West Des Moines, IA, Daquinta Sumlin, Forth Worth, TX and Kayla Stewart of Waukee, IA .
