Jacqueline M Zoll's Obituary
Jacqueline M. Zoll, a longtime resident of Cinnaminson since 1960, passed away peacefully in her home with her family by her side on February 25, 2026. Born on December 8, 1942, in Riverside to Edward C. and Mary Zoll (née Moretti), Jackie lived a life defined by devotion to her family, independence, and quiet strength.
She was the beloved wife of the late Gustave Leonard, who passed away in 2000. She was a devoted mother to Katherine Larmanis (Robert), Mary Elizabeth Leonard, and the late Gustave Leonard. She was a loving “Nan” to John Michael, Charles Alexander, John Robert, Jackie, Amber, Lauren, and the late Gus, and a cherished “Nana” to Elizabeth, Samantha, Wyatt, Noah, Jocelyn, and Leo. She was predeceased by her brothers, Edward and Phillip.
Born and raised in Riverside, Jackie was the middle of three children and helped raise her younger brothers from an early age—naturally stepping into the role of caretaker that would define much of her life. In 1960, she and her husband became the original owners of their home in Cinnaminson, where she remained for the rest of her life.
A proud, strong, and ambitious woman, Jackie pursued her nursing degree at the age of 50 and worked as a nurse until her retirement at 77. She was always learning, often consulting medical books and continuing to challenge herself. In retirement, she kept her mind sharp with puzzles and reading.
Jackie had a deep love for gardening and was a talented artist who enjoyed painting and taking art classes. Her artwork filled her home, reflecting her creativity and appreciation for beauty—especially her love of butterflies. Above all, she was fiercely independent and endlessly devoted to her family, raising and caring for her grandchildren with unwavering love until her passing.
According to her wishes, there will be no formal services held for Jackie.
