Jacqueline “Jackie” Gawlikowski, 87, of Green Acres Drive in Allentown, PA, died on Sunday, February 18, 2024, at Lehigh Valley Hospital Cedar Crest, with her family by her side. She was born on May 19, 1936, in France, and came to America at the age of thirteen. Jackie was employed by Champion Spark Plug (Known as Hellertown Manufacturing) for many years until its closing in 1982. She later worked at various other companies throughout the Lehigh Valley until her retirement. Jackie was a devoted Catholic who took her faith seriously and would attend Mass regularly at

St. Thomas More Catholic Church. She was a hard worker and her love for gardening and landscaping was reflected in the many flower beds and gardens that surrounded her home. She was always willing to lend a helping hand to her friends and their gardens. She loved to go to the casino and take long walks throughout her neighborhood and talk to people along the way and for many years she spent the winter months in Florida with Bill.

She will be dearly missed by her son, Joseph J. Gawlikowski Jr. and his wife Jill (Davies) of Center Valley, PA, her granddaughter, Megan Gawlikowski of Easton, PA, and great-grand dog, “Porter”. She is also survived by a stepbrother and a stepsister in Les Bray, France. She was predeceased by an older brother, Wiadyslaw Rokosz, in France, and long-time companion, William Romanow, who passed away in 2011.
