Jacquelyn LaRainne Wanzer Obituary Jacquelyn �Jackie� LaRainne Wanzer, 91 of Spokane, WA went home to Jesus on April 16, 2022. Jackie was born on September 29, 1930, in Mott, ND to Emil and Wilma Svihovec. When she was a young girl the family moved to Yelm, WA then onto Moses Lake WA where she met and married Cliff Wanzer in 1950. They had three children together: Steve, Gail, and Wayne. She was a wonderful mother and spent most of her time with her kids, sisters and working at House Laundry. In 1971 a job opportunity for Cliff brought them to Spokane. Several years later they opened their own business called The Wanzer Co. where they sold and repaired ham radio equipment. She ran the office and maintained the store front. She always had a fresh pot of coffee and sometimes a homemade treat for their customers. They sold the business and retired to Airway Heights in 1990. Jackie most enjoyed spoiling grandkids, crocheting, baking, and spending time with family and friends. In 2006 she became a member of the VFW post 3386 Ladies Auxiliary. She was very involved in special dinners, parties, and memorials. She loved being part of the VFW crew. In 2019 she sold her house and moved back into Spokane to be closer to family. She is survived by her four grandchildren, (Tom Wanzer, April Kalivas, Jennifer Wanzer, Sirena Wanzer-Harrison), six great grandchildren (Colin, Jaclyn, Timothy, J.D., Adrien, and Elizabeth) and numerous nieces and nephews.
