Jacqueline Ann Gill

Jacqueline Ann Gill, 59, of Ayer, passed away in her home on April 23, 2023. Jacqueline was born in Nurnberg, Germany on February 4, 1964, a daughter of the late Levon and Erika (Falk) Gill. She was a graduate of Ayer High School. Jacqueline was an extremely hard worker, a trait that was instilled at a young age; along with her family, she was cleaning the NEAX Building and The Devens Pizza Shop at Fort Devens for over 30 years. She also worked as a Gas Station Foreman where there she learned all her knowledge about cars and fell in love with sports cars becoming a “Mrs. Mechanic”. She then went on to work for 24 years at Toys R US where she was well known to all customers, as well as her fellow associates. They had the utmost respect and admiration of her giving excellent customer service and selling the most products. Her current employment was as Co-Owner of the Landscaping Company, D and J’s Services, where she learned she had the natural ability to have an eye and instinct in designing beautiful landscapes. Her customers were always very pleased with her work and will miss her dedication, compassion, and beautiful smile. Jacqueline was the most loving and devoted, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, partner, and friend. Always selfless, she would give the shirt off her back to those in need. Jacqueline valued the simple things in life, the love of friends and family, a good laugh, spending time her with her sister Denny and her family especially during the holidays, the joy of flowers, her long red nails, watching her movies and listening to her music while having her favorite glass of wine, collecting her dreamsicles and of course she loved her sweets-especially her chocolates. She will never be forgotten, and always be loved. She is survived by her son, Dennis C. “DJ” Voorhies, Jr. of Ayer, grandson D’Mari Chester of Leominster, former partner Dennis C. Voorhies of Ayer; sister Denise Bessette and husband Greg of Westminster; nephews Zachary and Cody Bessette of Westminster, niece Nadine Küspert of Germany. She is also survived by her “second parents” Carol “Nina” and Eric “Pop-Pops” Sandquist of Richlands, North Carolina and her best friend Patti Schuerman and her husband Brad of Fitchburg, and best friends Susan Murcek of Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin and Roger Hiett of Spokane Valley, Washington. Jacqueline was predeceased by her brother Norbert Küspert. Calling hours will be held on Wednesday, May 3 from 4-7pm in Anderson Funeral Home, 25 Fitchburg Rd., (Rte 2A) Ayer. The funeral will be held on Thursday, May 4 at 10 am in the funeral home. Burial will follow at Woodside Cemetery in Westminster.
