Jaclyn Elizabeth Strong

Jaclyn Elizabeth Strong, age 40, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, April 23, 2025.

Jaclyn was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a cherished daughter, sister, and friend. She is survived by her husband, Alan Sanders; her beloved children, Tyler and Hazel; her mother, Reon Mathews, and stepfather, Richard Mathews; her sister, Laura Gryder and brother-in-law, Doug Gryder, along with their sons, Caleb and Josh. She was preceded in death by her father, Larry Strong, whom she missed dearly.

Jaclyn’s gentle spirit and kind heart touched all who knew her. She had a deep love for reading, often losing herself in stories, and she found joy in baking for those she cared about. Whether it was a thoughtful word, a homemade treat, or a quiet act of kindness, Jaclyn had a way of making the world feel a little softer.

A private graveside service will be held to honor her life.
