Jackie was born on Oct. 21, 1934, to Fred and Clara Husemoller. She had two brothers, Russ Husemoller (Lavonne Husemoller) and Maynard Husemoller (Betty Husemoller). Jackie loved all her aunts, uncles and cousins, and spoke of them often. Her in laws, family, friends, clients, and church ladies were so important to Jackie.

Jackie graduated from Austin High School in June 1952. She worked at Wallace’s department store and also shared beautiful stories of her work family. She loved working and helping people, always moving at a fast pace.

On Oct. 22, 1955 she married the love of her life, Jim Crowley, at Lady of Loretto Catholic Church in Brownsdale, Minnesota. Jim and Jackie had two children, Jane and Dan; and three grandchildren, Cody, Emma, and Madison. Jackie loved her children and grandchildren so much, there is nothing she would not do for them. And their friends were her friends always welcomed in her home, tagging along to the Blooming pool, family vacations and ski trips. She always made room and with an open heart. Jackie was the Mom that would run us into town and taking us on those shopping trips.

Jackie believed in working hard and staying busy. She opened Stuttgart Tan in 1985 and always thought of her clients as her friends.  She loved them all … and Jackie made the office fun. It was not a typical office, it always had excitement and laughter.

Jackie loved the simple things in life. She would enjoy sitting in her country yard, hanging her clothes on the clothes line, helping others, going to church, taking long drives in the country, and being with her grandchildren. Jackie and Jim shared their backyard when the kids wanted livestock. She always had an open heart.

At night my Mom would say, “you might not always see me, but I will always be waving down to you” and “you are my angels here on earth.”

Funeral services will be held 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Septe. 6, 2016, at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in Waltham with the Rev. Dwight DoBell officiating. Friends may call one hour before the service at the church on Tuesday. Interment will be in St. Michael’s Cemetery.
