Jamestown resident Jacqueline "Jackie" Larson remembered with celebration

Jacqueline “Jackie” Larson, 64, of Jamestown died Jan. 6, 2026, at her home. She was born April 11, 1961. Family members have arranged a Celebration of Life for 2:00 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Jamestown, with local funeral services handled by Eddy Funeral Home.

Larson’s passing is a local loss for friends, neighbors and the Jamestown faith community. In smaller cities such as Jamestown, gatherings at places of worship serve as both spiritual support and a practical center for community grieving and remembrance. The Kingdom Hall location means members of the Jehovah’s Witness congregation and neighbors will have a familiar space to pay respects and share memories.

Eddy Funeral Home is coordinating arrangements. Attendees should note the winter timing; Jamestown typically faces subfreezing temperatures and snow in mid-January, so plan travel accordingly and check with the funeral home if road or parking adjustments are needed. Those who wish to attend the Celebration of Life should allow extra time for travel and dress for cold conditions.

Public funeral and memorial events like this also play a role in sustaining local services and small businesses that support families during loss. Funeral homes, florists and community volunteers often collaborate to ensure events run smoothly, and local attendance helps reinforce social ties that many residents rely on beyond the formal service.

For those who knew Larson, the Celebration of Life will be a chance to gather and reflect. For other Jamestown residents, it is a reminder of how neighborhood networks come together after a death, offering practical assistance, shared food and companionship during difficult days.

The takeaway? If you plan to attend or support friends and neighbors, check with Eddy Funeral Home for any updates and be prepared for winter driving. A simple visit or message can mean a lot to a grieving household in Stutsman County.
