Dr. Jacqueline Monette "Jackie" Latham, age 77, passed away on February 3, 2022, at Faith Presbyterian Hospice in Dallas. She was born March 15, 1944, in San Angelo, Texas, the only child of Lee Roland Latham and Virginia Pearl Ray. Her father was a P-38 Lightning fighter pilot during WW II, assigned in 1943 to the 339th Fighter Squadron on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Her mother was a talented landscape artist.
Jackie met her husband while she was working on her Masters Degree in microbiology and teaching microbiology lab at Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) in Ft. Worth. She later applied and was accepted to TCOM, where she earned her Doctor of Osteopathy degree in 1984 but did not pursue a career in medicine. After her husband completed his Internal Medicine training at Methodist Medical Center in Dallas, they were married in the United Methodist Church on Preston Road in Dallas on September 15, 1984.
Jackie's belief in Jesus Christ as her Savior governed her daily living and gave her His promise of everlasting life. Her cremation will be under the direction of Aria Funeral Home in Dallas and her ashes buried in the Latham Family plot in the cemetery at Robert Lee, Texas. A memorial service for her is pending.
She was preceded in death by her father and mother and is survived by her husband of 37 years, Dr. Donald Holcomb of Dallas, first cousins Bill Pharis and wife Pam of Levelland, Texas and Jan Pharis and wife Grace of Las Cruces, New Mexico.
