Obituary

Jackleen "Jackie" Schatz , 58, of Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, formerly of North Wales, Pennsylvania, Jacksonville, Florida, and Norfolk, Virginia, entered into rest on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at Abington Memorial Hospital.

Born in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, Jackie was the beloved daughter of the late Harry D. Schatz and the late Kathleen (Ketchum) Schatz. She was also the devoted wife of the late Thomas J. Harrigan.

A graduate of Souderton Area High School, Class of 1986, Jackie was known for her kind heart, strong spirit, and unwavering love for her family. Throughout her life, she worked in a variety of roles, including housecleaning, caretaking, and maintenance work, always bringing dedication and care to everything she did.

Jackie found joy in life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed watching NASCAR and other car races, listening to country and 1980s music, traveling, and spending time with those she loved most. She cherished family gatherings and treasured every opportunity to create lasting memories with her loved ones.

Those who knew Jackie will remember her beautiful soul, her sense of humor, and just the right amount of sass. She was generous, honest, fiercely loyal, and deeply protective of her family. Her strength, love, and caring nature touched many lives and will be dearly missed.

Jackie is survived by her sister, Sadie Marie Skrzat and her husband, Timothy, of Souderton, Pennsylvania; her brothers, John F. Schatz of Quakertown, Pennsylvania, and Harry F. Schatz of Lansdale, Pennsylvania; her half-sister, Linda Nigh and her husband, Larry, of Blakeslee, Pennsylvania; her brother-in-law, Charles Benica of Virginia Beach, Virginia; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents and husband, Jackie was preceded in death by her sister, Julie A. Benica, and her infant twin sister, Jacqueline Schatz.

Services will be held privately at the convenience of the family.
