Jackie Ann Kuljis

Jackie Ann Kuljis, 61, of College Place, WA. passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2021 after a short battle with Liver Cancer.

Jackie was born on February 27, 1959 to Jack and Beverly Kuljis in Bellevue, WA. After graduating from Walla Walla High School in 1979, she went on to receive an Associate Degree in Applied Arts and Sciences Educational Paraprofessional from Walla Walla Community College.

When she had her daughter, Shaunna, and her son Karl, she decided to dedicate her life to being a fantastic and wonderful mother. Jackie excelled at propping up her family and supporting them through the many passions and difficulties of their lives. She made it her mission to improve the lives of others.

Jackie was passionate about her hobbies. She liked knitting, beading and putting puzzles together. And when she wasn’t filling her home with warmth and kindness, she could be found attending her church family functions. We will miss her greatly.

Jackie was predeceased by her father, Jack Kuljis. She is survived by her daughter and son in law, Shaunna and Matt Bennett, and her son, Karl Dahl. She had two grandchildren; grandson A.J. Bennett and granddaughter Anna Bennett. She also survived by her mother Beverly Kuljis, brother Mike Kuljis, sisters Penney Crownover and Melody Baston, and a number of nieces and nephews.

Memorial donations may be made to either Providence St. Mary Regional Cancer Center or Walla Walla Community Hospice through Herring Groseclose Funeral Home 315 W Alder St.  Walla Walla, WA 99362.

There will be a Celebration of life to be announced at a later date.
