Jacqueline Ruth "Jackie" (Neumann) Dover

May 20, 1950 ~ October 4, 2014

Mrs. Jacqueline ("Jackie") Ruth Dover, age 64, resident of Bartlesville, died at 6:14 A.M. on Saturday, October 4, 2014, at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, following complications from a surgery in June.

Funeral services for Jackie will be held at 11 A.M. on Saturday, October 11, at East Cross United Methodist Church with Rev. Chad Perceful officiating.

Friends who wish may call for visitation at Stumpff Funeral Home on Friday, as the casket will remain closed for the funeral. The family will receive guests at the funeral home from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. on Friday.

Jackie was born on May 20, 1950, at Lincoln, Nebraska, to Robert L. and Marjorie Ann (Hagaman) Neumann. She was raised and received her education at St. Joseph and then at Kansas City, Missouri, graduating as valedictorian of both her high school and undergraduate classes. She attended William Jewell College, earning a B.A. in English and History. She then attended the University of Arkansas, earning her M.A. in English.

While in graduate school, Jackie met Larry Francis Dover in the cafeteria and proclaimed that she would marry that man. Indeed, they were married on January 4, 1975, in Kansas City, Missouri. They made their home at Fayetteville, Arkansas, until Larry began working at Phillips Petroleum Company in July of 1978, at which time they moved to Bartlesville. Except for a brief tenure in Texas, Jackie continued to live in Bartlesville for the rest of her life.

Jackie was a wife and mother by vocation, raising her two children first as a happy homemaker and then as an avid school volunteer at Hoover Elementary. Later, she worked as the secretary and then office manager at East Cross United Methodist Church. Most recently, Jackie had filled her time caring for cats (including five of her own as well as a constant influx of foster kittens), cultivating her gardens, and video-chatting with her first grandchild.

Jackie is survived by her daughter, Sarah Mendez and husband Jonathan, granddaughter Talia; her son, James Dover and wife Kristen; her brother, Vincent Neumann and wife Joyce; and her sister-in-law, Celia Neumann. She was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Dover; her parents, Robert and Marjorie Neumann; and her brother, Gregory Neumann.

Those who wish may send memorial funds to the Animal Rescue Foundation (A.R.F.) of Bartlesville at P.O. Box 3292 Bartlesville, OK 74006 Attn: Vicki Adams.
