Jacqueline Webb Hornsby passed away on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 after a lengthy illness. She is survived by her three children: Whitney Morris Hux of Raleigh, North Carolina; Sydney Morris Kaiser of Arlington, Virginia; and Lenny Morris of Johns Island, South Carolina. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Gavin, Gareth, and Ethan. She leaves a void that her family cannot fill.
Jackie was born in Callaway, Virginia, at the home of her grandparents, to Jack Marshall Webb and Flora Cooper Webb. She graduated from James Blair High School in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1963. She went on to graduate from the College of William & Mary, where she also earned two master’s degrees. Jackie dedicated many years as a school psychologist in the Newport News school system, touching countless lives in her field.
Jackie lit up every room she entered. Her laugh was contagious, and her warmth felt like an embrace to all who knew her. Her faith sustained her throughout her life, and her church community was very dear to her heart.
Family was always central to Jackie’s life, and her children and grandchildren always knew they were deeply loved and treasured.
Her light never dimmed, and her spirit will continue to shine in all who knew her. Jackie was a beacon of love, faith, and joy, and though she is no longer with us, her sparkle will forever illuminate our hearts.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Newport News, Virginia.
Arrangements are under the care of Peninsula Funeral Home, 11144 Warwick Blvd., Newport News, VA 23601.
