We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jackie, a beloved warrior in our epilepsy community.
Her family has shared these words in memory of her:
“Jackie was bigger than life. From the moment she was born, she defied every odd placed before her, refusing to let epilepsy define her. She was a fighter, a warrior, and an inspiration to all who knew her. Her strength, her spirit, and her love will forever live on in our hearts.
Though she is no longer physically with us, her impact remains. In her honor, we hope that the donation of her tissue will help researchers better understand SCN8A epilepsy—bringing them one step closer to finding a cure. Jackie’s fight does not end here, and neither does ours.
As a family, we will continue to advocate, to push for answers, and to ensure that her legacy brings hope to others. Jackie’s life was a beacon of resilience, and we will carry that light forward—always. #JackieForever11”
The Epilepsy Foundation Los Angeles stands with Jackie’s family in their commitment to advocacy and research. Jackie’s legacy will continue to inspire the fight to end epilepsy. Our hearts are with all who loved her. 💜
