Jackie Beth Rimmer Musterman
“Magic Mee-Maw”
November 1, 1932 – October 7, 2025
With hearts full of love and gratitude, we celebrate the life of Jackie Beth Rimmer Musterman — lovingly known as “Magic Mee-Maw” — who passed peacefully into eternal rest on October 7, 2025, just weeks shy of her 93rd birthday.
Born on November 1, 1932, Jackie lived a life defined by grace, faith, creativity, and an unwavering devotion to her family. She was a woman of many talents — a gifted florist, a skilled cake decorator, and a proud entrepreneur who poured her heart into her businesses, Gingham and Lace Resale and Craft Shop and Jackie’s Transport Service. She began her career as a switchboard operator with the Bell Telephone Company, but her life’s work was truly about caring for others — a calling she fulfilled in every role she embraced.
Jackie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Henry W. Musterman Jr.; her cherished sons, Henry W. Musterman III and Daniel Musterman; and her dear grandsons, Henry Musterman and Christopher Barcia. Though their absence left deep wounds, Jackie’s strength and boundless love held the family together across generations.
She is survived by her children Debbie Musterman, Karen Musterman, Michael Musterman, and John Musterman, who will carry forward her legacy of kindness and resilience. Her love blossomed across a large and beautiful family: grandchildren Jamie, Audrey, Jennifer, Robert, Kristina, Philip, Richard Allen, Bryan, Daniel, Devin, Damon, Sara and Amy; and great-grandchildren Robert Timothy, Kyler, Alex, Jacob, Haven, Arik, Alan, Gunner, Parker, Bryson, Harper, Kylie, Kennedy, Katrina, and Kristina.
Jackie’s deep faith and devotion to God were the compass points of her life. She lived her beliefs in quiet, powerful ways — through her compassion, generosity, and tireless service to others. Her home was always open, her hands always busy, and her heart always full.
A lover of nature with a green thumb, Jackie found joy in flowers — none more so than the climbing Peace Rose, which held special meaning for her. She brought beauty wherever she went, whether arranging a bouquet, decorating a cake, or crafting something special by hand. Earning her Wilton Method of Cake Decorating Course Certificate of Merit was a highlight of her life and a reflection of her creative spirit.
Jackie also found peace and wisdom in poetry, often reciting her favorite — “The House by the Side of the Road” by Sam Walter Foss — a fitting reflection of her own character: humble, welcoming, and ever-watchful over those passing through life’s journey.
To her family, she was our song, our laughter, our constant. Her signature serenade — “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” — echoed through the years, lovingly passed from her children to their children and beyond. It will forever remain in our hearts as her lullaby of love.
Though we will miss her voice, her smile, and her warm embrace, we take comfort in knowing that her spirit lives on in each of us — in every flower we plant, every kind word we speak, and every time we choose love over anything else.
Rest peacefully, Magic Mee-Maw. You were the heart of our home, and the light of our lives.
