Jacqueline Faye

Caviness

The beloved, beautiful, brilliant and bubbly Jacqueline Faye Caviness (née Clinton) went on to glory on Sunday May 11, 2026, peacefully in her sleep surrounded by loved ones. She was 61 years old.

Born May 29, 1964 in Merigold, Mississippi, Jackie was a true "Southern gal" as she loved to remind anyone who would listen quite frequently. A devout Catholic, she loved the great outdoors. Walks in the park or along the river with her pet family Jack and Jill was an activity she participated in year-round. She was always excited to go fishing and enjoy the fruits of her labor immediately after with a delectable fish fry. Always an optimist, she believed in gratitude for each day of life. Country, soft rock, pop, and classic ballads were a fraction of the musical genres she listened to on a daily basis. Soul food and hosting friends and family at any given opportunity were also important to her "repertoire" as she'd say. These traits greatly contributed to her success in the food and customer service sector. She was awarded with several honors in said industry during the 20 plus years she resided in Findlay, Ohio. Jackie's quick wit and huge smile made her an awesome human. Her impeccable sense of humor and multifaceted intelligence on topics ranging from history to current events and the arts made her an amazing friend. Her loyalty, empathy, assertiveness, and unconventional form of love made her an awesome sister, aunt, niece, and cousin. Her resilience, huge heart, audacity, strong work ethic and adaptability made her a dedicated mother and grandmother.

She is preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents, most affectionately her beloved "Grandma Lizzy and Granddad Thomas"; her parents Mr. and Mrs. L.C. Clinton and Mary L. Clinton, and 2 of her 4 children, Shontay Clinton and Kendall L. Mitchell.

She leaves to mourn and cherish her memory her children Athena K. Clinton and Jeffrey Ellis Jr (Brandy), her 7 grandchildren Phoenix-Laurent, John-Maverick, Zahara, Lilly, Jada, Rosalind and K'Drean; her siblings Lee (Sharee) Clinton, Leo (Beulah) Clinton, Patricia (Michael) Harris, and Gregory Clinton; great aunt Ann (Alan) Eck; best friend Arlinda (Gary) Capello and the entire White family as she called them, and an enormous amount of cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
