Jackie Lynn Bates
Jackie Lynn Ashwood Christensen Bates, 52, of Richland passed away on October 1, 2006. Known as the shy, middle daughter of the Three Musketeers, she was born on September 24, 1954 in Havre, Montana to Ivon and Polly Bastien Ashwood.
Jackie graduated from high school in Orofino, Idaho in 1972 and Walla Walla Business College in 1974. Soon after, she met and married Terry Christensen, giving birth to two of her own highly spirited daughters, Stacy Anne, her Princess, and Terra Lynn, her Wild Child. They were truly her pride and joy. She and Terry divorced in 1985. Jackie found love again and married Jim Bates in 1989, adding another spirited female to the family, his daughter Cassidy. They divorced in 2006.
She is survived by her two daughters, Stacy & Jim Larsen of Kennewick, Terra & Conrad Dabling of West Richland; grandchildren Konner and Sadie Dabling, and C.J. Larsen; her two sisters, Cindy & Dave Cress of Maple Grove, and Pam & Bo Bullock of Pierce; step-daughter Cassidy Bates; and many loving nieces, nephews, relatives and special friends.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, numerous aunts and uncles, her parents, and one nephew.
Jackie's beautiful smile, funny stories and quick wit will be forever missed by everyone that knew and loved her. We love and miss you mom!
Family and friends are invited to attend a memorial service on Friday, October 6th at 2:00 p.m. in the Chapel at Einan's Funeral Home, Richland.

I worked with Jackie in the early days on WPPSS Nuclear Project No. 1. She was such a wonderful young lady with a beautiful smile and infectious laugh. She made work a fun place to be. The world lost this special person way too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jackie’s family.

We were saddened to hear the news of Jackies unexpected passing, and extend our heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends. May the loving memories of time shared bring you comfort in the days ahead.
I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Jackie at this time in the loss of their loved one.
I just learned of Jackie’s death and would like to send my deepest sympaty to the family. I attended High school with Jackie and I also graduadted in 1972. Jackie and I dated many times and I was so impressed with her, I fell in love. The summer of 1973 I think I asked Jackie to marry me. Things didn’t work out for me but I have continued loving her over the years and have spent many hours thinking about how she’s doing. I saw her at the 1992 class reunion for the last time. I am greatly sadden by this news. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I will NEVER foget Jackie and I will always wonder what our life would have been like together. She was my first true true love
All my love
