Jacqueline Wooldridge Andersen Jacqueline Marie Wooldridge Andersen, best known as Jackie or Grandma Jac to those who loved her best, went home to be with her Lord on June 23 rd , 2026. She was 95 years of age. She was born at her dairy farm home on 279 th Street in Battle Ground and the house still stands. At the time it was part of LaCenter. Her husband Charles preceded her in death as did her parents, Carl & Marguerite Wooldridge. She is also preceded in death by her Granddaughter, Britni, two sisters; Marj and Janis; and three brothers Albert, Kenneth and James Wooldridge. She is survived by three daughters: Nancy, Carla & Dawn and their husbands, Mike, Duane and Jim. Granddaughter Brooke, her husband Dima and their sons Ezra & Wesley. Grandson Brian and his daughter Penelope. Grandson Kevin, his wife Jaime and their children, Hunter, Mia, Allie and Brynn. Grandson Ryan, his Fiancé Bre and sons Hayden & Gavin. Grandson Chad, his wife Adri and their son Jaxson. Grandson Jeremy, his wife Angela and their son Carlin. Grandson Josh, his wife Adele and their daughter Charlotte. Grandson Jordan, his wife Brittany and their daughter Hailey and son Lukas. Granddaughter Johanna Smith. She is also survived by two brothers: Richard, his wife Lynette and Corley, and his wife Nancy. She always said she had the best family on earth with nieces, nephews, and cousins by the dozens. Jackie enjoyed many things. She loved music and played saxophone, marching with the Battle Ground High School band. She said they once practiced for the Rose Parade by having their own parade on the streets of Yacolt. She was involved with many Bible study groups and hosted two in her home over 15 years’ time. Jackie was a sports fan, and the Portland Trail Blazers were her favorite team. She had a room in her home known as the “Blazer Room,” filled with Blazers memorabilia, from the bedspread to the light switch plate. Whenever you visited, you might find any competitive sport on her TV - unless she was watching the Hallmark Channel or The Great British Baking Show. In earlier days she enjoyed camping, hiking and backpacking. Much of her life was spent researching genealogy and family history. Reading was a favorite pastime. She was always picking up new books to add to her large library - much to the consternation of her family. There was always a jigsaw puzzle in the works for visiting family and friends to help with. She liked to travel and enjoyed trips to Europe, the British Isles, New Zealand and Hawaii. Later in life she took several road trips with a group of her friends, which included a long drive to Alaska. She enjoyed those trips so much. Jackie was a member of the Charter Oak Community Church, The North County Seniors and Daughters of the Pioneers Vancouver Chapter 19. She went to Battle Ground schools grades 1 – 12, Clark College & Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California. She worked at Washington Canners/Diamond Fruit growers for 15 years and the State of Washington in the welfare office before transferring to the business office at the School for the Deaf. We want to give a very special thanks to Cozy Palace Adult Family Home in Battle Ground. Mariya, Julie and Natasha took such wonderful care of her in her last days.
