Jacqueline Gagner

HIGHGATE - Jacqueline Rita Gagner, age 67, passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington.

She was born August 2, 1959 in St. Albans to the late Henry & Cecile (Ferland) Laroche.

Jackie worked at IBM for many years. During her time there, she attended college to become an engineer. When Jackie was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and could no longer perform her role at IBM, she began working for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. She was dedicated to helping raise money and awareness for others who suffered from MS. She had a love for crocheting, reading romance novels, completing crossword puzzles and word search books, and playing Rummy. She also loved traveling, hunting, and spending time on the boat with her husband, Dominique. She enjoyed gardening when her health allowed her to, and we can't forget to mention how she cherished life's quiet times, just sitting at the table visiting with friends and family, watching soaps and game shows, watching the birds, and most importantly, spending time with her grandkids and watching movies with them.

She is survived by her husband, Dominique Gagner; step-children, Eugene Gagner and his wife Samantha, Gilbert Gagner and his wife Mindy, Raymond Gagner and his significant other Cindy Shedrick, and Theresa Gagner and her husband Kevin Domingue; grandchildren, Tyler Conger, Kassia Gagner, Peter Gagner, Ray Barry, Tara Gagner, Trevor Gagner, Brody Gagner, Britney Clark, Taylor Hall, and Seth Hall; great-grandchildren, Camilla, Cain, Cyrex, Bennet, Kenzie, Kayson, Tessa, Hunter, Lucy, William, and Mateo; siblings, Marc Laroche, Agnes Masson and her husband Andrew, Monica Thibault and her husband Romeo, Lisa Folger and her husband Jeff, and Danielle Noel and her husband Travis; and several nieces & nephews. Jacqueline was predeceased by her parents, Henry & Cecile Laroche.
