Jacquelyn "Jackie" Wulf

Jacquelyn "Jackie" Ann Wulf met her Lord and beloved Savior on February 22, 2025, at the age of 73. She is survived by her four beloved children: Michelle (Todd) Scharnhorst, Michael Zeller, Heidi (Brett) Dixon, and Josh (April) Zeller. Jackie was the proud grandmother of Alyssa, Jordan, Camryn, Brayton, Walker, Wyatt, Jake, Austin, and Addison; and great granddaughter Finley Grace. She also leaves behind her older brother Randy (Teresa) Miller, as well as many nieces and nephews. Jackie was born on March 9, 1951, to Marietta Mae (Brown) Miller and Elwood Miller in Wamego, Kansas. She attended Wamego schools, excelling in music and served as the drum majorette for Wamego High School. She was an accomplished bowler, French horn player, vocalist and pianist, often playing for church, weddings, and good old-fashioned entertainment. On March 20, 1994, Jackie suffered a spinal cord injury which would alter her life dramatically. Through her many hospital stays, ER visits, and illnesses, she inspired many with her positive attitude and was blessed with great care. Initially told she would not live through the night, Jackie lived for almost 31 years following her accident. Her friends and family are grateful for every single day of those 31 years. If you knew Jackie, you know she loved Jesus. He was her constant companion and best friend. As she endured much pain and suffering, she continued to teach us about redemptive suffering and remind us that Jesus suffered immeasurably more. “I would suffer again and again for you, and for the Glory of God.” Jackie loved to be in the kitchen and made the best pecan pie muffins around. Her homemade croutons were always a big hit with her friends and family. She kept her gumball machine full and stayed well-stocked with tootsie pops for her grandchildren and the neighborhood kids – after removing all the chocolate ones first, of course. Her recipe book and Bible were about the same size. There wasn’t a recipe out there she would not try, even if it took her twice as long to make with only one hand. Her Christmas treats – everything from homemade cinnamon candy to her delicious peanut clusters - had you wishing Christmas would never end. Although Jackie held several titles throughout her life, her favorites were “Mom,” “Grandma,” and friend. She was Grandma Jackie to everyone! She never ended a visit or phone call without an “I love you.” She was proud of her children and would always say raising them into loving, kind, and caring adults was her greatest accomplishment. The family would like to thank her many caregivers who made life possible for her at home, the staff at Health Care Resort for their loving care during the past four years, and Interim Hospice for making her comfortable the last six months of her life. They would also like to thank Father Tom and Mother Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Church for all the support given to Jackie during her time as a member there. Please join us in celebrating Jackie’s life at Mother Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Church, 2014 NW 46th Street, Topeka KS 66618. Rosary will begin at 10:30 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11 a.m. Wednesday, February 26, 2025. Committal service will be at 2:15 p.m. at Wamego Cemetery. Donations in Jackie’s memory may be made to Mother Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Church, in care of Kevin Brennan Family Funeral Home, 2801 SW Urish Road, Topeka KS 66614.
