Jacqueline "Jacque" K. Abrams
October 26, 1950 ~ May 9, 2021
Jacqueline Kay Jensen was born October 26, 1950 in Ames, Iowa to James and Bette Jensen. Jacque was number three of seven children, with three sisters and two brothers.
Jacque moved to Arvada, Colorado in 1961. She attended Arvada High School, where she was a twirler. She attended college at Colorado State University, where she joined the sorority Pi Beta Phi, and obtained a degree in microbiology. She worked at St. Luke’s hospital in the hematology lab as a medical technologist.
In 1972, she ran into Dave Abrams who attended Arvada High School with her. Their love story began, and November 23, 1974 Dave and Jacque became one as husband and wife. Jacque was a proud police wife, with unwavering loyalty and support for the love of her life. Dave and Jacque have four children, Aaron(Stefanie), Mark(Amber), Alison(Vince) and Christine. Jacque (with the help of Dave) raised her children to have a serving spirit, teaching them that through serving others, they are serving the Lord. This guidance led to all of her children’s careers to be geared toward serving others. Aaron and Mark are Denver Firefighters, Alison is a teacher, and Christine is a Denver police officer.
Jacque is Owo (Oh Wonderful One) to her GB’s, Rylee, William, Joseph Abram, Ayla, Boaz, Declan and another on the way. Jacque’s greatest joys in life were her children and grandchildren.
In November of 2019, Jacque was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma. She displayed unwavering faith in the Lord during her battle with cancer. Jacque’s strength, toughness, and love for her family allowed the blessing of 18 extra months to be with her. On May 9th, 2021 surrounded by her devoted husband and adoring children, Jacque entered the Kingdom of Heaven and met her Creator.
Jacque was a Godly woman, devoted wife, loving mother, silly Owo, sweet friend, prayer warrior, faithful servant, quiet fighter, fierce comforter, who had an encouraging spirit and a blessing to all whose lives were touched by her. Jacque started as oh wonderful one, but we realized she was OUR wonderful one, who will be deeply missed.

Dave, So sorry for your loss. Jacque obviously had your stubborn streak, that was one hell of a fight. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I have so many sweet and funny memories of a one-of-a-kind woman… I am just heartsick for you and your family, Dave. My deepest sympathy to you. May your memories be a blessing.
Jacque – a light in every room she walked into, a BSF leader to hug and laugh with and pray with, a kingdom warrior, a daughter of the King, a friend who's last request was prayer for her family to grow closer to Jesus through this trial, a sister in Christ who I'll get to see again someday! Until then Jacque, I'll keep praying and believing and doing – you are my role model!
May her memory be a blessing. I remember the fun I had with Jacque on a raft trip.
My sincerest condolences Dave. I can only imagine your heartache.
Sweet Jacque how we will miss your amazing outlook on life and your love of the LORD! You, “overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony!” Revelation 12:11
I will miss you being one of the few that always called me by given name, Anoush and not just Anne. Rest in the arms of Jesus sweet warrior and we will see you on the other side!!
Dave and family, Jacque was your OWO but she was my hero! She walked beside me at one of the most difficult times of my life losing my husband at the age of 23, and from that day to this, Jacque has been a friend, support, encourager, prayer warrior, and truly one of the finest human beings I've ever met! This is heaven's gain but our world's loss. I aspire to be like Jacque and she will forever be in my heart. Take comfort that Jacque impacted everyone she met for the Lord!!! Till we meet again, sweet friend! I love you, Jacque
Dave and family, we send you our love and thoughts and prayers for the Lord to help you through this difficult loss. We have many fond memories of times we spent with Jacque and the entire family, we hope all of your cherished memories with Jacque will help to ease your pain. We loved her so much and love you all. She is without pain and in the house of our Lord now. You have gained a guardian angel
Dave and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you over your great loss.
Jackie was such a Wonderful person, always. Your kids and grand-kids will always be blessed with her and your memories.
Take care of yourself and I know you will be there for you kids and grand-kids as they are an extension of Jackie and your and love, and I know she will be watching over all.
Prayers and thoughts for peace for you all!!!

Dave and family,
We are heartbroken and will miss Jacque so much. We had so many good times with you and her. She was in my life (Jan) at a very critical time and helped me through a great many things. I remember the days after your first date. She had written you a note and the pen was not working and it was a funny note with lots of OOOOOOO's! I am so sorry for you and your family. She is such a precious, vibrant spirit. We will always keep you in prayer! Paul and Jan Kohli
Dave and Family
Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Your beloved Jacque was such a blessed presence in so many lives. She was loved and cherished by everyone in our family. We are grateful the Lord saw fit for our families paths to cross. My the Lord give you peace as you adjust to the new reality of her being in the Lord's presence.
Sincerely,
Steve and Andrea Urban and Family
Dear Dave, Aaron, Mark, Alison, Christine and your families
We are so honored to have been Jacque's and your friends through the years. It has been a privilege to watch you grow and thrive under the care and love and tutelage of your beautiful wife and mother. She has left all of you with a heritage of love, faith,
integrity, joy, fun, spontaneity, kindness – a Godly wife and mother – you are blessed beyond words. May you reflect on the meaning of her life and find peace and comfort and excitement for living your life for God and family. Billy Graham said “My life is in heaven. I'm just traveling through this world.” Soon you will again be reunited with “Your Wonderful One”.

We know that words are inadequate at a time like this, but we wanted you to know how very sorry we are. We pray that God will give you and your family peace and comfort.
We loved Jacque from the moment we met her. She was always so sweet and bubbly. She was a very important part of our kids lives as they grew up and became a phenomenal Mom when you guys had your family. She always told me that was her main goal and she more than achieved it. We have so many fun memories and they will live on forever. Rest In Peace sweet Jacque
Davey,
I can't begin to imagine the grief you and the kids are going through. God bless and keep you during this troubled time. You are one of the strongest men I have ever known. Your dedication to your family was an inspiration to me. I chuckled when you referred to Jacque as the colonel.
I always considered you a friend, a valuable colleague and most of all a dedicated family man. You have our deepest condolences and you and your family are in our prayers.
Rick & Lea Castricone

From the time I met her and worked alongside her in BSF, it was like I had known her all my life. Her joyful spirit will always bless my heart. Missing you here but know you're with our Lord!
I will support the hospice you requested. They are angels on earth.
I did not know Jacque as a close personal friend, but we were in several classes together. It was so sad to learn of her passing. My prayers are with her family. — Tina Wamboldt
Our sweet Abrams family, we continue to send our love and pour our hearts out in prayer for you. We will always remember Aunt Jacque's compassion, generosity, hospitality, and joy that she radiated to everyone she knew and ever met. We will continue to be inspired by her- what a reflection of Jesus, what a gift to have known and loved her. We love you.
Dave & family,
What a beautiful, peaceful service for our Jacque today. We wanted to show our love and comfort you all – but through your stories, prayers, pictures and songs, YOU ALL comforted us! We hope the peace & love that your family shared today, stays with you forever. I know it will stay with us…
Love the Minks
Jesus' light shown through Jacque. She was full of life, laughter and love; always demonstrating God's love. Jacque's love was infectious. But now at her final destination, Heaven; she is safe and secure in the Lord's presence. And I pray that you and your family are feeling the same, pressing into Jesus' arms for comfort. But you just have to know, Jacque's joy has to be off the charts! She is seeing Jesus face to face!!
I'll miss you here on earth but will see you in paradise!❤
