Jacquelyn Dahms

Jacquelyn Lorraine Dahms, 36, of Lancaster, formerly of Sellersville, died of injuries received in an automobile accident in Lancaster County on Thurs. Dec. 21. She was the loving and dedicated wife of Jesse L. Dahms, formerly of Perkasie. Born in Sellersville, Jackie was the daughter of Donald L. and Lorraine (Levy) Croissette of Sellersville. She was a 1999 graduate of Pennridge High School. She was employed as a manager for Royer's Flowers & Gifts in York. Along with designing and daily managerial duties, she encouraged her staff to participate in company contests. A favorite family e-mail subject was: "Jackie and her store are in the news again" - often for winning food drive contests. Jackie had an uncanny ability to envision, especially relating to interior design and home comfort. She enjoyed many crafts and created a warm and loving home. Her hand-made quilts are cherished by those who have received them over the years. She and Jesse had adopted several dogs from a local animal sanctuary over the years, and truly believed in the rescue cause. Jackie's wit and spirit will continue to influence everyone who knew her. Along with her beloved husband and parents, she is survived by her sister Julie Brzyski, husband Michael; nephews Tyler Quinci and Ryan Brzyski; numerous aunts and uncles; and her parents-in-law, Sarah Ruth and John Dahms. A memorial service will be held on Sat. Dec. 3 in the Naugle Funeral & Cremation Service, 135 W Pumping Station Rd., Quakertown with a visitation beginning at 11 am and a remembrance and sharing time at 1 pm. Jackie always wanted everyone to be comfortable and we should be sure to dress that way. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to Angels Among Us Animal Sanctuary, c/o Cindy Olweiler, PO Box 1063, Quentin, PA 17083.
