Jacqueline E. Palladino (Picard) of Wellesley, MA passed away November 12, 2024 at the age of 60. Jackie leaves behind a legacy of love, ambition, and faithful dedication to her family and career.
Jackie was the beloved wife of Al Palladino, sharing a marriage of 36 years filled with love and partnership. She was a devoted mother to Jillian Palladino (married to Ryan Neville), and Daniel Palladino, both of Wellesley; loving daughter to Joanne Picard of Albany, NY; and sister to Arthur Picard (married to Erin Lasky) of Clifton Park, NY.
Jackie brought boundless love, joy, and steadfast support to her family. She cherished exploring new destinations around the world, yet her heart always found peace by the ocean, especially during family vacations on Cape Cod. She was an avid reader, played the piano, and loved to bake. Her intuition and wisdom guided those around her—she always knew the right words to say, the perfect outfit for any occasion, and how to balance it all with grace. Jackie’s dogs were her companions, protectors, and a source of unending happiness.
Professionally, Jackie made a lasting mark as an Executive Vice President & Chief Administrative Officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, where she spent many years leading with intelligence and integrity. She also served on the board of directors of the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley. Jackie took deep pride in her accomplishments and the positive impact she made at work and in her community.
Known for her unwavering strength and kindness, Jackie left a mark on everyone she met. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
