Jackie L. (Welsh) Nuner

Jackie Welsh Nuner, age 61, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by family, after a brief illness at 2:17 p.m. on Thursday, November 7, 2019.

Jackie was born on July 2, 1958 in South Bend, Indiana to the late Jack and Joyce Welsh.

Jackie had three sisters, Judith Stone who preceded her in death, Jeanne Welsh of Granger, IN and Janet Auker of Rock Island, IL

Jackie was blessed with five children, Mandy Purser Johnston of Mishawaka, Michael Purser of Lakeville, Emma Nuner of South Bend, Rachel Nuner of South Bend, and John Daniel Nuner, who preceded her in death; and also blessed with five grandchildren.

Jackie found a love for all animals early on and continued to rescue and volunteer wherever needed. An insane love for Notre Dame Football. Jackie was always the “Belle of the Ball” and enjoyed life to the fullest. Whether it was her quick witted catch phrases, her incredible dance moves or her superb cooking skills, she found a way to leave a mark in all of our hearts.
