Mom would say she woke up each morning with a new song in her heart and loved singing fun and silly songs. She loved movies and romance, gift-giving and holidays. She was quite the fashionable lady, always with her fully matching outfits, even when it was just a nightgown and bathrobe.

Jackie loved making people laugh and touched many lives in her time with us. She will be sorely missed by the four children she leaves behind, the family she created and the friends she made. She loved Jesus, prepared herself for Him and was ready to be with Him and her family in Heaven.
