I find it hard to believe that Jackie is gone and I must grieve.

I miss my sister so much but I am thankful for the deep dialogues and exciting experiences that we shared. We were the perfect blend of love, laughter and support. God handpicked the perfect big sister for me and; hard as it is; I understand that I must now give her back to him.

My heart goes out to the Marshall and Clarke families during this time of sorrow. I was deeply saddened to hear about your loss, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jackie was a beautiful radiant, kind, and full of warmth. I feel eternally blessed to have been a part of her family. One memory that will always stay with me is a simple yet profound gesture of her generosity.

One Sabbath at Avent Avenue, Jackie sat with me in church. It was a warm day, and noticing my discomfort, she handed me her beautiful African fan. After the service, I made sure to return it to her. But when I got home and looked in my bag, there it was again. Confused, I immediately called Jackie to tell her that I was certain I had given it back. She just laughed and said, “I put it there.”

I was speechless. That was Jackie always thoughtful, always giving, always making sure others were cared for. I thanked her and told her how much I loved it. To this day, I treasure that fan, not just as a keepsake, but as a reminder of her kindness and love.

Jackie, you were a gift to all who knew you. I will cherish your memory and hold you in my heart forever. I Love you, sis.

Kristen and I were schoolmates and friends in our early teenage years and although we only engaged for a short while ‘Aunty Jackie’ as I would have referred to her then out of respect definitely made a difference to my life. One summer someone because of her and Kristen I ended up involved in a Classroom to Boardroom workshop which was the start of a number of professional engagements for me.

That summer helped to shape what I still do professionally and how I do it so thank you for your light and for the difference you made.

It is indeed a pleasure to say that I had the honour of calling Jackie Marshall-Clarke my friend and colleague since our ‘days in radio’.

Jackie always willingly gave of herself, in the form of a listening ear and advice. A kind, generous and thoughtful person who exuded a happy and joyful presence.

You will be missed Jackie my friend. Rest in peace and rise in glory. Condolences to her husband, children, other relatives and friends.

It is with deep sadness that I am here today saying goodbye to my friend and colleague, Jackie Marshall-Clarke. As a dedicated member of IABC Barbados and a respected professional in corporate communications, Jackie was a passionate advocate for excellence in our field.

I had the privilege of knowing Jackie for several years, and in that time, we collaborated, shared ideas, and supported each other in our professional journeys. Her insight, wisdom, and commitment to effective communication were unmatched, and she always approached her work with warmth and enthusiasm. She made sure that the art of communication was not only filled with clarity but also with fun and laughter.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Jackie was a kind and generous spirit—someone who uplifted those around her and made every conversation meaningful. Her contributions to our industry and the lives she touched, including mine, will not be forgotten.

As all of us remember Jackie, we honour her legacy and the impact she made. My thoughts are with her family, her husband Eric and her children, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Rest in peace, Jackie. You will be deeply missed.

Jackie always exuded a warm and a happy spirit. Her belief in God demonstrated that special touch of love which endeared young and seniors to her. I have many precious memories of the times we shared in her earlier years in Sunday School, camps and visits to my home. I thank God for her life and the lives of those she touched for the Lord. I will always remember her.

Condolences to her husband, children, mum, sister and extended family .

I have fond memories of Jackie as we attended the St.Michael's Girl School. Especially when I was Head Girl and she was one in training. I knew she was special from back then. Jackie was definately a team player and displayed her natural leadership skills, which no doubt developed more over the years as can be seen by her many accomplishments throughout her adult life.
I found her to be a genuine and sincere soul. Always pleasant, always greets with a smile, a very respectful and decent person. Never loud and boisterous. She carried herself with a quite confidence and her attire was always aproper.
A God fearing woman.
A gem of a lady.
To her husband, children, mum and family circle, I wish to convey sincere condolences and ask God to give you all the comfort and strength you need at this time.
RIP dear Jackie.

To Eric, Kamar and family.
We join with countless others to mourn the loss of Jackie. We met her about five years ago when she and Eric accompanied him to Halifax, Nova Scotia as he was about to embark on his university life. They visited our home and she was positive, encouraging, and full of fun. Her concern for Kamar's success was top of mind. We will miss her. May God give you grace in this your time of need. We are praying for you.

I didn’t know her for years on end. I only met her a few times. Still, that was enough to tell that she was loving and beloved of her family. Gone too soon, but we have a sure and certain hope that burns within our hearts! Until then, hold on to the wonderful memories of her.

It was a great day for us at Barbados Light & Power in 2007 when Jackie accepted our offer to join our Communications Team. She joined at a critical time for us as we were preparing for the upcoming rate case which was the first time we were going before the Regulator for an adjustment in rates since 1983. She needed to "hit the ground running", and that she did. And, as they say, the rest is history.

Jackie was not only a very valued work colleague with a
Golden Voice and for whom I had the greatest respect, but she was also a good friend, a friendship that I valued and one that continued even after I left Light & Power in 2015.

She was a very hard and diligent worker and strived every day to be the best she could be. This was reflected in every thing she did. I remember the time when she decided to go for the highly acclaimed designation as an Accredited Business Communicator with the International Association of Business Communicators and we were so proud of her when she achieved it.

Her family meant everything to her. She spoke so lovingly of her mum and dad, whom I had the privilege meeting from time to time.
She loved her husband, Eric, dearly and was so proud of her children, Kristen and Kamar, at every stage of their lives, but especially when they entered University and then when they graduated.

Jackie had a strong faith in God and I know that would have been the source of her strength and success over the years.

Jackie, while we here are mourning you leaving us all too soon, I am comforted knowing that our loss is heaven's gain. I know that you are now looking down on us with a great sense of pride at what you have achieved in your career, in your friendships and in the lovely children you and Eric have raised.

To Eric, Kristen, Kamar and Mrs Marshall, and to your family and friends, I pray that you will be comforted by the good memories that you have of your wife, mother, daughter and friend and by the knowledge that she is now in the safe arms of our Creator and that one day you will all be reunited with her again. May she rest in peace.

My cousin Jackie had a heart of gold. Her generosity knew no bounds and she touched the lives of everyone she met. Whether it was through small acts of kindness or grand gestures of love, Jackie made the world a better place simply by being in it.
One of the things I will miss most about my cousin is her jolly laugh. It was the kind of laugh that could light up a room and bring joy to even the darkest of days. Her laughter was infectious, and it reminded us all to find joy in the little things and to cherish every moment.
She was a woman of God and her presence in our lives was a gift, and we are all better for having known her.
Whenever I came back home to visit BIM Jackie made sure I enjoyed the best pastries in town, to remind me of what I was missing. I can still smell the meat rolls, jam puffs, and apple turnovers as I reminisce over our fun times together.
As we say goodbye, let us remember the beautiful moments we shared with Jack. Let us carry forward her legacy of kindness, laughter, and love. Though she may no longer be with us in person, her spirit will live on in our hearts forever.
Rest in peace, dear Jack. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.❤️🕊️

Jackie had a beautiful smile, wonderful voice and big heart. Whenever she spoke, people were attentive, they listened. I remember the days when Jackie read the
announcements at church, it was done in such a professional way, every thing that she said, was said with clarity and warmth, she articulated every sentence with just the right tone.
I will miss your voice. Jackie was also generous and supported our many fundraising activities for the pathfinders club especially when we were travelling to Oshkosh in Wisconsin. She was very supportive.
Her life was a blessing to all who came into contact with her. I will miss you.

A life-long friend, that is what Jackie was to me. Her mother and mother are best friends and we continued that on as well. She was also my daughter Jade, God mother.

I keep thinking of all the great times we had at her parents home on Rendezvous, whether it was doing lessons or just being silly young girls. Both us at St. Michaels school and taking piano lessons around the corner at Mrs. Arthur, sometimes serious and lots of times just having fun.

Memories of her fun- loving personality, her ability to make everyone feel welcomed and valued, along with her calm demeanor will stay with me always.

I had the privilege of not just attending St. Michael School with Jackie but we also attended piano lessons after school during the week. In those early years Jackie showed a great sense of care and kindness. As we became adults whenever we met it was as if time stood still! We went back to being those two little girls attending piano lessons. Always helpful always gracious she will be missed. Rest in peace Jackie until we meet again 🙏🏿

On February 17, 2025, we lost a truly remarkable soul—a woman whose kindness, strength, and unwavering faith touched the lives of so many. To most, she was Jackie Marshall-Clarke, but to me, she was Aunty Jackie—a title that spoke not only to the bond we shared but to the warmth and love she extended to those around her. And to her, I was Uncle Rufus, a connection born through my niece, Jakera, whom she embraced as if she were her own daughter.

Though my time knowing Aunty Jackie was not as long as I would have wished, its impact was profound. I came to know her as a devout Christian, a woman of deep and abiding faith. I had the privilege of worshipping alongside her and witnessing firsthand her devotion to God. But she was not only a woman of faith; she was also a consummate professional who poured her heart into her work and deeply cared for her colleagues.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, while I was stationed in Barbados with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Aunty Jackie reached out to me often, seeking guidance on how best to protect her staff at Barbados Light & Power. She was relentless in ensuring their safety and well-being. She arranged for me to meet with her employees to answer their concerns and hosted a company radio podcast where I had the honor of discussing COVID-19. She led with empathy, care, and an unwavering commitment to those she served.

Beyond her professional excellence, Aunty Jackie was a loving and devoted wife, mother, daughter, and friend. Her family was her world—her husband, Eric, her beloved children, Kristen and Kamar, her parents, and so many others whose lives she filled with warmth and love. My niece, Jakera, was blessed to be part of that world, as she and Kristen were more than best friends—they were sisters in every way that mattered. The countless stories they shared of family trips, laughter, and treasured moments painted a vivid picture of joy, love, and adventure. Even though I wasn’t present for those experiences, I could see them clearly—Jackie’s radiant smile, her sparkling eyes, and the way she made every moment feel special. I felt that love each time I was welcomed into her home, where generosity and kindness were always abundant.

One of my fondest traditions with Aunty Jackie was our shared birthday celebrations. Our birthdays were just one to three days apart, and along with Jakera, we often celebrated together. Those moments were filled with laughter, love, and the simple joy of togetherness. It was a special bond, an annual reminder of the connection we shared—not just through family, but through friendship and mutual appreciation for life’s blessings.

Aunty Jackie was an incredibly strong and independent woman, a fighter in every sense of the word. Her journey through illness was a testament to her resilience and unshakable faith. She faced every challenge with grace and dignity, never allowing fear to overshadow her strength. In all my years of medical practice, I have rarely seen someone navigate such a difficult diagnosis with the level of calm, composure, and trust in God that she did. She was concerned, of course, but her greatest worry was always for Kristen and Jakera—her two “daughters”—not wanting them to carry the burden of knowing too much while they pursued their studies in medicine. We often conspired to shield them from the full extent of her illness, until the day I told her, “You must update Kristen—I cannot keep this from her any longer.” She understood, as she always did, with wisdom and grace.

Aunty Jackie lived a life of purpose, of service, and of love. She made a difference in the lives of those she encountered—at home, at work, in church, and in the community. She left this world a better place, and though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit, her kindness, and her unwavering love will live on in all of us.

To Eric, Kristen, Kamar, Jakera, and the entire Marshall and Eagle-Clarke family, I extend my deepest condolences. May you find strength in the love and memories you shared with her. May her light continue to shine through each of you, guiding you, comforting you, and reminding you of the incredible woman she was.

Aunty Jackie, it was an absolute honor to know you, work with you, worship with you, celebrate life with you, and care for you. May your beautiful soul rest in eternal peace.

Aunty Jackie, in a life full of hardships, you faced every challenge with unwavering grace and strength. No matter what came your way, you carried yourself with dignity, kindness, and resilience—always finding the light, just like a sunflower turning toward the sun.

You have been an inspiration to me in more ways than I can count. Through your actions, your wisdom, and your endless warmth, you’ve taught me invaluable lessons about love, perseverance, and the power of a kind heart. I am forever grateful for the time we've shared, the memories we've made, and the guidance you've given me.

Though words could never fully express my appreciation, please know that your impact on my life is everlasting. You will always be in my heart.

Till we meet again, Aunty J❤️

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, professional and BLPC colleagues of the extraordinary Jackie Marshall-Clarke. From the moment our paths crossed in 2015, your presence in my life became a gift I will forever cherish. What began as a close professional bond quickly blossomed into a friendship that transcended the workplace. You became my mentor, guiding me through the complexities of the energy sector with wisdom and grace. You were a beacon of inspiration as we delved into discussions about women in leadership, politics, and the unwavering love and dedication you had for your beloved husband and children.

Jackie, you had an unparalleled ability to see the potential in everyone you encountered. Even when life stretched you thin, you gave generously, your time, your energy, your unwavering support. Your radiant smile and calming spirit were a source of comfort and strength, and I always felt blessed to be in your presence or communicate miles away. I mourn the loss of a phenomenal woman, a fierce advocate for women, a giver who returned to the world tenfold what it gave her. Your legacy is etched into the hearts of countless lives across the Caribbean region, a testament to the profound impact you made during your time with us.

Though you are no longer with us in body, I know you are now seated on a throne of light and strength, watching over us with the same love and guidance you always shared. Your spirit lives on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know you. I find solace in the memories of your beautiful smile, your warmest hugs, your soothing voice, and your Christlike spirit that touched everyone around you.

Sleep in sweet peace, my dear friend. Your light will never dim, and your legacy will continue to inspire generations to come. ❤️❤️💐💐

I am thrilled to be able to say I knew Jackie, and to know her was to love her.
Gone too soon is my perspective. It looked to me like she still had a great deal more to offer and a whole lot more to achieve.... God's perspective however, is higher and wiser than mine. I am even more thrilled to be able to say that Jesus knew Jackie and she knew Him. Above all the glowing tributes, as real and accurate as they all are, the relationship between Jackie and her Saviour is what makes all the difference. Rest well Jackie.... until you hear the Lord's shout, and the voice of the archangel, then rise in glory to meet the Lord Himself.

The classrooms we shared in youth, a faded scene,
Hold echoes of a life that might have been.
We dreamt our dreams in ink and whispered plea,
Two seedlings reaching for the canopy.

Then fate entwined us in a different way,
When I became the guide, along their way,
Of those she cherished, her own precious kin,
I taught her children, "Where do I begin?"

I saw her spirit in their eager eyes,
A mother's love that constantly implies,
Kindness and strength, a legacy to hold,
A story whispered, more precious than gold.

The news arrived, a chilling, sudden gust,
A life cut short, returned now to the dust.
A former schoolmate, a mother so dear,
A loss that echoes, bringing forth a tear.

I'll hold her memory in the lessons taught,
The wisdom shared, the battles bravely fought.
And in her children, I will strive to see,
The best of her, for all eternity.

So rest in peace, your earthly journey done,
Your light lives on, in your daughter and in your son.

Rise in Glory

My sincere condolences. A poem for the family.

I met Jackie and Sharon many years ago at piano lessons when we were children. Those were evenings of laughter and chatter as we waited for our respective class. For many years thereafter, Jackie and I interacted infrequently, however, I was both very aware and very proud of her achievements over the years and particularly loved to hear her crystal clear, beautiful, consistent and passionate deliveries in her official capacity at BL&PC.

Our paths crossed again on a few occasions in more recent years and we were able to speak easily and comfortably, as if that connection was never broken. Such was her nature- warm, gracious and uncomplicated.

To say that this news hit me directly in the chest; is an understatement. However...

We must celebrate Jackie's life which was well lived as well as her contributions in and to all spheres of society. I am confident that her light will continue to shine though she is not physically with us.

To her immediate family- her mum, sister, husband, Kristen, Kamar, and all who loved her and both celebrate her life and grieve her passing, peace be with you all.

That beautiful warm smile, that bubbly spirit, that pure heart, I will always remember. Your dedication to your job at the Bank where we worked - going above and beyond your duties. Your Christian values have made a deep impression on all who met you.
Rest on until that great getting up morning.

To Eric and the rest of your family may God's peace abide with you.

Please accept my condolences.

We are here to celebrate the life of Aunty Jackie, who was like a mother to me.
Aunty Jackie helped me find my voice and was always proud of my accomplishments.She believed in me before I did, and her support extended to my entire family.
I remember sleeping on her lap in church, feeling safe and loved. She always made sure I was doing well in school, showing her unwavering care and encouragement. During my common entrance exams, she was working on the radio and had me talk to the listeners, reciting various things. She showed me around the station, and we took many photos, capturing those precious moments.
Aunty Jackie, your love and support have shaped who I am today. Thank you for everything. Rest in peace. We love you and miss you
