Jackie Sommer Walford 70, of Bridgeport was blessed to receive her final prayer request when she laid down to rest and awoke in her Father's arms on September 11, 2014 at OVMC. She was born October 28, 1943 in Martins Ferry, a daughter of the late Harry Sommer and Glendora (John) Martin (Koch). She worked at Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel and for various health care providers.
