Jacqueline Danzer Pepka
Jacqueline Danzer Pepka, 75, of Bradenton and formerly of Anna Maria, died Oct. 30.
She was born Sept. 23, 1948, in Hudson, New Jersey.
She was a certified nursing assistant with a nurturing spirit that endeared her to the hearts of countless residents of Anna Maria. She became a cherished friend and devoted caretaker to many who crossed her path. Her benevolence knew no bounds, extending even to providing refuge for women in times of need.
In 1989, she found sanctuary on the shores of Anna Maria Island, a place she held dear. She married the love of her life, Ronald Pepka, in April 2006. He preceded her in death.
A service will be held in her honor at noon Monday, Dec. 4, at Episcopal Church of Annunciation, 4408 Gulf Drive, Holmes Beach. Memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at stjude.org or Wounded Warrior Project at woundedwarriorproject.org.
