Jacqueline (Jackie) Mills Vaughn, RN, 72, of North Fort Myers, Florida went home to her Lord and Savior on Friday, October 6, 2017 after a long battle with Pancreatic Cancer.
Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on February 24, 1945 to Joseph Mills and Rita Cardinal Mills. Jackie attended St. Patrick's Grammar and High School, graduating in 1963. She went on to earn her LPN and later her RN from Massachusetts General Hospital where she worked for several years before relocating to Florida. She worked as a dialysis nurse before moving into her chosen field of Public Health in Lee County. She ran the immunization program in Lee County for many years and loved her work. She touched many lives and was loved by all.
Her church, St. Cecelia's in Fort Myers, was her first love, and she dedicated her life to her work there as a Eucharistic Minister and Sacristan, as well as many other volunteer opportunities.
Her love for animals, especially her cat, Ollie, is well known. She would stop traffic to rescue turtles crossing the road, as well as stray kittens and many other animals. She also volunteered at the local animal rescue. She loved visiting the Peace River Wildlife Center in Punta Gorda and introduced it to many family and friends. She could have almost been an official tour guide.
