Jacquelin Marie Hedgepeth

Jacquelin Marie Hedgepeth, 53, of Macon, Georgia, passed away on November 6, 2026. She was born on March 17, 1973, in Moultrie, Georgia, and grew up in Colquitt County. 

Jacquelin had a giving heart and a special way of making others feel loved. She was the person her family could always count on—the family babysitter, a listening ear, and the one who never said no when someone needed her. Wherever she was needed, she showed up with love. She loved a cold Coca-Cola, and her daughters, grandchildren, and extended family held a special place in her heart. Her kindness will live on in the lives of those she touched. 

She was preceded in death by her mother, Minnie Marie McMillan Willis; her father, Johnny Bruce Willis; and her baby son, Adam Len Johnson. 

She leaves behind her daughter, Katie Hedgepeth, and Katie’s significant other, Austin Whitmore, and their children, Canton, Noah, Weston, and Eastin Whitmore; her daughter, Kari Hubbard, and her husband, Trae Hubbard, and their child, Lyndon Hubbard; her sister, Jennie Willis Gurnee; her sister, Lynn Adkins, and her husband, Michael Adkins; seven nieces and nephews; and four great-nieces and great-nephews. 

She also leaves behind Mark Hedgepeth, the father of her daughters, with whom she continued to share a deep and lasting love even after their marriage ended. 

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Fellowship Community Church, 7401 McCall Road, Lizella, Georgia 31052. 

Jacquelin will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered for her generous heart, her listening ear, and the countless ways she cared for those around her.
