Jacqueline Glasgow, 93, of Wheeling, died Saturday, April 23, 2016 at OVMC, Wheeling.

Jacqueline was born May 26, 1922 in Salleboeuf, France, daughter of the late Francois and Fantine Combroux Bajon.  Residing in Paris at the outbreak of World War II, Jacqueline, a teacher, helped with the evacuation of the children from the area. Jacqueline also helped with the French Resistance, delivering messages on her bicycle.  When supplies were parachuted in, Jacqueline even helped to “destroy” the evidence by fashioning clothing for the children from the parachute material.  It was during this period that she met her husband, Robert (Bob) Glasgow of  Wheeling, WV.   The couple fell in love and were married in Paris, May 18, 1946, where they resided until moving to Wheeling on July 4th, 1947.  Bob convinced Jackie that the fireworks celebration was in her honor.  Jacqueline happily settled into her new life as a homemaker and a member of St. Michael Catholic Church and the Christian Mothers.

In addition to her parents, Jacqueline was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Glasgow in 1994, and a sister, Marie-Rose Reynaud and her husband Jean.
