Thursday, April 25, 2024

Jacquline M. Singleton (Kubica), Jackie, passed away on April 20, 2024, at the age of 86 in Nolensville, Tennessee. She is survived by her husband Jim Singleton, children Jerry (Patricia) Singleton, Mary Jo Deane, Jeffery Singleton (Barbara Madar), John Singleton, Tina Singleton, and Lisa (Steve) Sager. Jackie was preceded in death by her parents Leo & Martha Kubica, sister Marsha Imthurn, and brother Robert Kubica.
Jackie was a hardworking woman who had a deep love for her family and horses. Her passion for naturally talented horses, especially the Tennessee Walking Horse, was evident in her life dedicated to training, breeding, showing, and promoting the breed. Goodtime Spirit was their first World Champion. Delight's Good Lady and Romeo's Paradise were also a few of her show horses. After great success in the performance division Jackie was on the frontline in the pleasure horse division with greats like Mr. Copper Top, Mr. Red Rambler and her last ride in the ring to a blue ribbon was on Coppertop's Covergirl. She found joy in sharing her knowledge with others in the stands, appreciating the talent of a good horse.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to your local Hospice Agency.
