One of God's brightest lights is gone as He called her Home. Jaqui's service here, her ministry, planted many seeds. Her strong faith, infectious laugh, kind words, gentleness, and gestures touched so many and shall never e forgotten. May God comfort each member of your family during this difficult time. On behalf of the Perkins family - Harrilyn

Mr. Willis, Leigh and Geneva, please accept my sincerest sympathies and heartfelt prayers during this difficult time. Mrs. Willis was one of the most caring, intelligent and generous people that anyone could have ever known. She always greeted me with such a warm smile and genuine interest in my well-being. She will be greatly missed by all that had the honor of knowing her. Find comfort in knowing that she will always be with you and that one day you will meet again in God's great kingdom. Much love to you and yours - Rita

We give you our deepest sympathy. God has a reason for allowing things to happen. We may never understand his wisdom, but we simply have to trust his will. Your family will continue to be in our prayers.

Dear John and family, please accept our deepest sympathy during this extremely difficult time. Jaqui is surely someone to be missed! Her smile, her love for people, the unconditional service to the community, her love for God's people and her family exemplifies her true character and the example she set for all of us to follow. God placed his Spirit within her and she serviced this world and her family with extreme love and compassion. She's no longer with us but we have to believe that the Lord has spoken and said well done Jaquita thy good and faithful servant. We say to the Willis family and friends, keep looking to Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith! Hold fast to God's unchanging hand and he will grant us peace and comfort!
Heartfelt Love, Carlton, Gigi and Ajah

Dearest Willis Family and Friends,
Jaqui was one of the first people I met when I moved to Oberlin. She had a personality and smile that can't be beat. She was one of the most caring Ladies I have ever met. Simply said.......To know Her was to Love Her ! She will be missed.

I work at the Oberlin Public Library and always enjoyed chatting with Mrs. Willis about our shared experiences and background in libraries. She was so sweet and brought so much joy with her into the library. I will miss seeing her smiling face.

I was so sad when I heard my friend had passed away. I'm so thankful for the recent time we had together at the B.W.luncheon. She was always a reflection of positive and possibilities. We had Granddaughters who were friends so that kept us close! We had a Grandmother's club for a short time. I'm most happy to know her Mansion was ready for her this time. To John,Leigh, G.G and Khalihla just remember Joy will come in the Morning.

Nani,
Thank you for being the best mother in law a woman could ever have to me. I always admired how you ended all of our conversations saying I love you. You were such a kind, warm person. You always welcomed me with open arms, and I thank you for that. You raised an amazing son, my husband. You were such a loyal woman of God. I'm sorry you didn't have more time with Layla, but I will be sure she knows who and how you were. Love you Nani!! Please watch over us.

I've only known Jaqui for a short period of time. However, we shared a bond because of the love we have for our granddaughter, Layla.
In that short of time, I found Jaqui to be a warm, friendly and down to earth person. I enjoyed her laugh and her love for books.
Even though I did know know her for a long time, what I know for sure is she raised a incredible son, Leigh Willis, my son in law.
John, Leigh, Geneva, the days ahead will be hard. In time the pain will dull, but never go away.
Love you all.

I worked with Jaqui in Strongsville media centers for many years and always looked up to her expertise in our field but most of all so enjoyed her sense of humor. Have always considered her a great colleague but more importantly a great friend. My condolences on your loss.
