Jacqueline I. Sanneman
Stephen Machalek and Elizabeth Kolar immigrated from Slovakia in 1901, and were married at St. John’s Church in Allentown, PA in 1909. The last of their twelve children, Jacqueline Irene (Machalek) Sanneman, was born on June 9th, 1937 at Wilson Memorial Hospital, Johnson City, NY. At the age of 14, Jackie lost her mother. She graduated from Binghamton Central High School (Binghamton, NY) in 1955, and lost her father just one year later. Shortly thereafter, Jackie would meet the love of her life and future husband, Larry Raymond Sanneman of Mazeppa, MN. Larry, the son of Henry and Rose Sanneman, was on a work assignment with IBM when they met. They were joined in marriage on December 14th, 1957 at SS Cyril Church in Binghamton, NY. That same year they returned to Minnesota and started their family.
Jackie was kind, friendly, social and above all, loved her family. She had a varied work history but spent most of her time tending her family and raising her three children, and later helping raise her grandchildren.
She enjoyed baking and cooking, and all who came to visit rarely left without a meal and dessert. She had a strong faith in God which sustained her through her final days. The most special time of year for Jackie was the birth of Jesus and the celebration of Christmas with her family. She also loved sewing, knitting, quilting and crafts. Larry and Jackie spent many years enjoying the beauty of campgrounds and State Parks throughout Minnesota. She was born with a competitive spirit, enjoyed playing games and cards with friends and family, and became an avid fan of the Byron Bears, and Minnesota Twins and Vikings!
Survivors include three children, Theresa Ann (Shelli) of Rochester, MN, David Michael (Jennifer) of Byron, MN, and Thomas Christopher (Traci) of Woodbury, MN, as well as twelve grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.
She is proceeded in death by Larry and her eleven brothers and sisters.
A visitation for the public will be held from 4:00pm – 7:00pm, Thursday, July 9, 2020 at the Byron Funeral Home (1620 Voll Drive NW, Byron, MN). A private funeral Mass for Jackie’s family will be held at Christ the King Catholic Church in Byron on Friday with the Rev. John Lasuba officiating. Burial will be at Byron Cemetery.
Memorials are suggested to Christ the King Catholic Church (202 4th Street NW, Byron MN, 55920).

I wanted to copy this poem for the children and grandchildren written by Mary Elizabeth Frye ?
“Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.”
My sympathy. She was a fun person who always had a smile.
God Bless.
Tom and family, I am so sorry for your loss. There has never been a greater fan of the Byron Bears! One of the most loving, caring and genuine people I have ever met. I will always remember Jackie handing us handfuls of Teddy Grams as we left her house before the big game!
