Jacqueline Virginia Bricker, 99, of Columbia, Kentucky, died Tuesday, July 29, 2025 at her home

She was born September 3, 1925, in Pence Springs, West Virginia, to the late Calvin and Lottie Miller Robbins.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Bernard Bricker in 1975, five daughters, Sandy Alexander, Bobbie Knox, Brenda Sue Bricker, Blenda Rogers, Elizabeth Cox and one grandson, Billy Rice.

Mrs. Bricker was a member of Columbia Christian Church, a military wife and was a retired T-shirt inspector at Fruit of the Loom.  In her time as a preacher’s wife, she would share how Sundays turned into picnics, car rides and congregation members inviting them into their homes.  She enjoyed traveling and loved to share stories from her time in Virginia, Panama, Japan, Hawaii, Fort Knox and Columbia, where she finally settled. She loved her “stories”, especially The Young & Restless and a sweet treat.  She will be dearly missed.

Two sons – Bernie Bricker of Russell Springs and Tim Bricker of New Jersey

Two daughters – Shirley Stacy of Atlanta, Georgia and Mary Browning of Indiana

19 grandchildren, several great and great-great grandchildren
