Mother of three young children
Jacqueline Carlson Balderas of Burlington, Vermont, the loving mother of three young children, Noelan, Daniel, and Madison, died suddenly on November 14. She was 24. Jackie grew up in Harvard and attended the Bromfield School.
Besides her children, Jacqueline leaves a large and loving family: her mother, Hilda Carlson of Springfield, New Hampshire; her father and stepmother, Ronald and Theresa Knoll of Fitchburg; her half-sister and half-brother, Erica and Christopher Knoll; and her half-sister Crystal Blumberg and husband David Blumberg. She will also be missed by her aunt, Sandra Rowse of Springfield, New Hampshire, and her uncles, Franklyn, Bruce, and Robert Carlson, who own and operate Carlson Orchards on Oak Hill Road. As a child Jackie spent many hours at the farm with her maternal grandparents, the late Walter and Eleanor Carlson.
Jackie was a dear friend to many.
