February 7, 1955 – December 23, 2021

Jackie Lynn Flanagan, on December 23, 2021, age 66, of Greenwood, SC, formerly of Hackensack and Cliffside Park, NJ.

Beloved Mother of Jacqueline Sharpe Mandic and her husband Peter.  Cherished sister, aunt and cousin to numerous relatives in Georgia and other states.  Loving Mommy to her furry companions who all passed away before her.  Dear friend and neighbor to many.

Jackie proudly served as a Special Police Officer and Police Officer on the Cliffside Park Police Department for over 20 years and was a member of the NJ State PBA Local 96.  Over the course of her career with CPPD, she was recognized with several awards and inducted into the NJ Police Honor Legion.  In retirement, she worked as a Security Officer and acquired NJSP SORA and NJ Animal Control Officer certifications.

Jackie was a hard worker that was strong-willed and independent.  As a young, single mother, she juggled two to three jobs at a time before pursuing a career in law enforcement in her early 30's.  As an avid DIYer, she enjoyed taking on home improvement, gardening and landscaping projects for herself and others.  She also enjoyed various types of arts and crafts including painting, sewing and crocheting.  Her creativity, artistic talents and love of working with her hands showed in the countless projects she worked on.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a memorial service on Sunday, November 13, 2022 from 1-3 PM at A.K. Macagna Funeral Home, 495 Anderson Avenue, Cliffside Park, NJ 07010.  A private cremation took place in South Carolina.
