Jessie Jacqueline LUBY.
A shadow of grief hung over the entire community Monday morning, May 7, when the word spread that Miss Jacqueline LUBY had passed on. The angel of Death came quietly at 2:00 o'clock in the morning, while she peacefully slept. Her passing was symbolical of her life--calm, gentle and serene.
Jacqueline was seriously ill for about eighteen months, and in all that time her sunny and cheerful disposition was dominant. Her greeting to friends was always happy and even though she failed in health and strength she still retained the same sweet smile.
To know Jacqueline was to love her. Her pleasantness, kindness and charming personality attracted people to her and her friends were legion. Not only was she a friend to those of her own age and station in life, but to all classes and ages. Many lasting friendships were formed with the aged, and nothing was overlooked that she could do for their happiness. She was especially fond of children, speaking of them as "my little friends."
Her devotion to her family was a thing of beauty, giving thoughtfulness and consideration to the smallest details which might bring comfort and joy to them.
A most beautiful unselfish, noble character was hers and her memory will be a joy and inspiration to all with whom she came in contact.
Jessie Jacqueline LUBY, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh W. LUBY, was born October 26, 1894, at Leadville, Colo., and passed away May 7, 1934, at the home of her parents at Minturn, Colo. When seven months old her parents moved to Minturn, where Jacqueline later attended grade school. She completed the high school course at Mount Saint Scholastica's Academy at Canon City, graduating as valedictorian of her class. In 1917 she became an employe of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Co., as a clerk at the round house in Minturn. This position she held for five years when she was promoted to the fuel department with offices in the Equitable Building in Denver. Seven years later she was laid off due to a reduction in force and in a short time entered the employ of the Colorado Life Company of Denver, which position she held until the time of her illness.
Surviving her are her parents, two brothers, Wm. L. LUBY and wife, and Gene K. LUBY, and two nephews, Billie and Johnnie LUBY.
Funeral services in charge of Rev. T. B. McDIVITT of Eagle, were held Thursday afternoon, May 10. At the services a quartet, composed of Miss Grace EGGEBROTEN, Mrs. R. W. COX, and Messrs. Rice PALMER and Warner BURBANK, sang "Abide With Me," "Rock of Ages" and "Nearer My God to Thee."
Pall bearers were J. D. ALLEN, T. F. McBREEN, W. R. FLYNN, O. J. TIPTON, Paul CRAWFORD, and Carl V. NORGAARD.
Burial was made in the Leadville cemetery.
As a testimonial of the great esteem in which Jacqueline was held by so many people was the great banks of flowers which filled the church. Great banks and wreaths of flowers covered the rear of the pulpit six or eight feet high, and was one of the greatest displays of flowers ever seen in this community at a similar occasion.
