Jacqueline Aneita Riordan, age 90, of San Angelo, Texas passed away on Saturday, February 8, 2025. Jackie was born July 30, 1934 in Johnson City, New York. Living on the family farm with her parents and 8 siblings. She graduated from Whitney Point High School in 1953.
Jackie met Tom Ahlers, they married and started their journey in military life. While in Frankfurt, Germany in 1961, they welcomed their son, Travis. After moving to San Angelo, they welcomed their second son, Troy in 1964. Although they parted ways, they always remained family.
Mom started a new chapter in her life when Donald Riordan joined our family in 1972. They enjoyed many years of happiness until his passing in 2012.
Mom was so excited to become Meme when her grandson, Justin, was born. With the arrival of Alisha three years later, she finally had her girl.
Mom was an avid baseball fan! She loved her New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers. She always enjoyed playing baseball with her sons and grandchildren on the lot next to her house.
Loved ones left behind are her sister, Beverly; her sons, Travis (Ann) and Troy. Her grandchildren, Justin (Lindsy) and Alisha (Robie). Her great grandchildren, Addison, Ty, and Lily.
Preceding her in death are her parents, Edward and Charlotte, her siblings, Dorothy, Nancy, Donnie, Shirley, Bill, Sandy, Carolyn, and her husbands, Tom and Donald.
A graveside service will be held at Johnson's Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens on Friday, February 14, 20225 at 2 pm. The guest book will be available to sign at Johnson's Funeral Home.
Our family would like to thank the staff at San Angelo Nursing and Rehab and Hospice of San Angelo for the wonderful care and compassion in the time they spent with Mom.
Whether swimming or camping in the backyard, baking cookies or making french fries, popping out her dentures to make the grandkids laugh (even after she lost them at Blackbeard's.) Life was always an adventure with our Meme. We are totally heartbroken, but know she is in a better pace, laughing and dancing with all her family and friends. (I bet she is the bouncer at the heavenly VFW.)
We love you, Mom.
