It is with both sadness and celebration that we announce the passing of Jacqueline "Jackie" Goldsmith, who left this world peacefully on August 30, 2026, surrounded by her love for life and her cherished family.

Jackie was a dedicated employee for the Maryland Correctional Services, where her strong work ethic and kind demeanor left a lasting impression on her colleagues and friends. But above all, Jackie was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Phil Goldsmith, and a nurturing mother to her five children: Stephanie, Tony, Chris, Destiney, and Isabella. Her legacy continues through her many grandchildren, who held a special place in her heart.

Jackie's infectious spirit shone brightly in everything she loved-especially her cherished moments spent at the beach and her adventures traveling with family. She had a particular fondness for sweets and a deep affection for animals, which reflected her kind and gracious nature. Even during her illness, Jackie remained an anomaly, demonstrating strength and grace that inspired those around her.

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of Jackie during a public viewing at Connelly Funeral Home of Dundalk on Thursday, September 3, 2026, at 5:00 - 8:00 PM. As we share stories and celebrate Jackie's life together, we will honor her warmth, positivity, and unwavering love.

In this time of remembrance, let us find joy in the beautiful memories we shared with Jackie and keep her spirit alive in our hearts. She will be profoundly missed but will always be remembered for her beautiful smile, love for her family, and the indelible mark she left on all of us.
