Jacqueline Jordan
October 13, 1965 – September 18, 2013.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our lovely daughter, wife, sister, mother and friend, Jacqueline Alana Jordan. Jackie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2010 and carried on with grace, fortitude, and the utmost dedication to her family and community. Jackie grew up in Calgary and moved to Vancouver to attend the University of British Columbia. She obtained a Bachelor's degree along with building her talents in the film industry, becoming 1st Assistant Director on several series, movies and commercials across Canada and overseas. In 2001 Jackie worked at the Directors Guild of Canada, later taking on an instructing role in Film Studies at Capilano University. In 2004 Jacqueline and Quincy welcomed the joy of their lives, Alana. Raising Alana, along with their beloved dogs Emma and then Lou Lou, provided them with an abundance of love, joy and laughter. Jackie loved books, music, cooking, playing and teaching piano, gardening, and above all, being a mother. Jackie will be greatly missed by her husband, Quincy Mittertreiner and daughter, Alana, of Vancouver, B.C.; her mother, Helen Milton of Calgary; siblings Pam Ediger (Harry), Jim Jordan (Sarah), and Jennifer Milton-Reinbold (Greg) of Calgary; father-in-law Ton Mittertreiner of Canmore, AB; brother-in-law Phil Mittertreiner (Jan) of Calgary; and sister-in-law Doreen (Bruce) of Texas; her step mother Karen Jordan of Calgary; and many nieces and nephews. Jacqueline was predeceased by her father George Jordan. Jackie's compassion, strength, and spirit will live on in our hearts forever. The absolute kindness and gracious support of family, friends and the Carnarvon community throughout Jackie's illness will never be forgotten. The family is also deeply grateful for the overwhelming care and compassion of BC Cancer's support and hospital staff.
