Jacqueline L. Bredle
76, of Martinsville, passed away on June 17, 2022 at her home, surrounded by her family. Jackie was born on May 21, 1946 in Indianapolis, Indiana to the late Paul Allen and Katherine (Pyles) Allen.

Jackie worked as an administrative assistant for Eli Lilly & Company for 10 years. It was there that she met the love of her life, Jim Bredle. They married on December 20, 1975 and were happily married for over 46 years. Jackie and Jim shared a love of classic cars and traveling. They enjoyed vacationing at their favorite spots in Sarasota, Florida and Gulf Shores, Alabama. Jackie owned several classic cars over the years including a ’65 Corvair, ’69 Camero and a ‘74 Gran Prix. In her younger years, Jackie and Jim played tennis and enjoyed watching tennis, especially cheering on her favorite tennis player, Roger Federer. She loved spending time with family and keeping up with old friends on Facebook, reading Stephen King novels, and trying new recipes. However, it was her grandkids, Daniel and Jane that were the gleam in her eye. She loved spending every moment she could with them. She will be remembered for her love of life, her thoughtful, loving, caring heart that would help anyone in need, and her wonderful sense of humor in finding humor and irony in life.

She is survived by her husband James Bredle; son Jason (Rebecca) Bredle; brother William “Bill” (Sandra) Allen; her beloved grandchildren, Daniel and Jane Bredle, as well as nieces Rachel Allen and Lindsey (Josh) Reagan.
