Jacqueline Rose “Jackie” Williams, 84, of Morgantown, passed away peacefully Sunday, Sept. 12, 2021, at her residence, with her loving family by her side. She was born Oct. 5, 1936, in Garfield, N.J., a daughter of the late Peter and Frances Scaglione.

She was a member of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Start City, and a former member of St. Rita’s Catholic Church, Connellsville, Pa. Known for her kindness, giving and compassion, Jackie always helped anyone in need. She enjoyed spending time with her many friends and, above all, family was her most treasured asset. She will truly be missed but her legacy of love and generosity will live forever in many hearts.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Carmen Williams; a brother, Jack Scaglione; and a sister, Mae Licciardi.
Surviving her is a sister, Sophie Posluszny, of New Jersey, and many loving nieces, nephews and godchildren.
