Jackie was a classmate of mine that I knew since Junior High. She had a warm smile and a great sense of humor- dry wit for sure. She had many accomplishments in her lifetime for which she could be grateful and left a better world for all.

An outstanding friend to our family. We loved sharing our lives with her. Maid of Honor in our wedding 61 years ago. Our youngest daughter was given the name of Jacquelyn. Her thoughtfulness was unequaled. So thankful to have happy memories of our times together.
