Jacquelyn Duezabou Obituary

Jacquelyn Jean (Hutton) Duezabou Resident of Castro Valley Jacquelyn died peacefully on September 2, 2013 at the age of 90. Jackie was born on February 27, 1923, in San Leandro, CA. She graduated from San Leandro High School and attended the University of California, Berkeley. She married Mel Duezabou on July 26, 1942. Jackie loved reading and music. She felt that no family gathering was complete without an enthusiastic sing-along, and kept a "tune basket" of tambourines, kazoos and other accompanying instruments at hand for such events. She supported numerous charities and was a member of Cherry Branch of the Children's Hospital support group. Jackie was preceded in death by her husband of 67 years, Mel, and by a son-in-law Derric DesMarteau. She is survived by her children John (Patti) Duezabou of Helena, MT, and Susie DesMarteau of Danville, CA, and by two grandsons Chad and Sean DesMarteau. Cremation has taken place and there will be no service at the request of the family. Memorials can be made to a charity of your choice.
