Nov 23, 2009, 5:50 pmJackie Martin passed away Sunday after a long battle with cancer. Jackie leaves sons Chris and Jason, and husband Ken. Jackie was the team mom for the ARC 13s for the last five years. To the ARC program, she was so much more than that. She was a great supporter of the program and our team's biggest fan. She demonstrated heartfelt caring for all the players. Players, parents and coaches looked to Jackie for help with the operations of the team on the road and at home, and even for advice on personal matters. She was everyone's friend and was loved by all who knew her.
Whenever and wherever the ARC 13s play, there will always be a seat for Jackie, for the team knows that her spirit will always be there rooting us on. In her memory, ARC will make an annual "Jackie Martin Award" to the parent who best exemplifies her character and commitment to young players, making sure she will never be forgotten.
