Jacquelyn Marie Block, fondly called "Tookie" by family and friends was born on March 11, 1934 at McIntosh to John A. and Ida Marie (Irwin) Richards. She grew up and received her education at McIntosh.
She was married to Harry M. Block on Dec. 16, 1950 at McIntosh. They raised their family there and other area communities where Mr. Block worked on the railroad. She was a loving and caring mother and friend to many. She enjoyed writing poetry about those she loved and compiled several verses which her children helped put together in "Jackies Jingles". She also took under her wing anyone needing help, and loved to feed all who came to visit her home. Tookie will be remembered for her wonderful bread and caramel rolls.
