Jacqueline Marguerite “Jackie” Feeney, 78, born on April 7, 1947, in Los Angeles, Calif., passed away on July 16, 2025, after an extended illness. She was the daughter of Nora “Mumsy” Feeney and Jack Feeney.

Jackie lived a life of passionate strength—quick to love and quick with wit and sarcasm that brought laughter to all who knew her. She had a warm and happy spirit, always ready to share a laugh and lift those around her.

She had a deep affection for her cats and a lifelong love of gardening. She found joy in her flowers and the peace of working with her hands in the dirt. Over the years, she owned and operated several bars, including Mumsy’s Place in Apple Valley, California—both reflections of her welcoming nature and entrepreneurial spirit.

After leaving California she lived in Idaho before moving to Kansas in 2018. In her later years, she especially enjoyed playing dominoes with her neighbors, gardening, streaming her favorite shows on Netflix for hours on end, and betting on the ponies online, the simple joys that filled her days.

Jackie is survived by daughter, Nora “Kathy” Nokes and husband Austin of Albert, Kan.; and her treasured grandchildren, Lea, Ella, and Cole, who were the light of her later years. She also leaves behind her beloved cats, Mia and Blue.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 1st, 2025, at Encounter Church. All who knew and loved Jackie are invited to join in honoring her memory. Memorials have been designated to the Golden Belt Humane Society or Great Bend Senior Center, in care of Bryant Funeral Home, 1425 Patton Rd., Great Bend, KS 67530.
