For several years she was a devoted homemaker and a stay-at-home mother, but later worked as an EMTl, volunteering at Station 73 in Logandale for over fifteen years. She loved being a medical assistant and helping care for people. In 2006, she moved to Lebanon, Missouri and made her home.
Jackie made her profession of faith in Christ early in her life and had attended Mount Olivet Assembly of God since moving to Lebanon.
She was a very caring person who was always taking care of those in need, even bringing strangers home for a meal. She had a very determined spirit and was steadfast in her convictions. She loved her family dearly and especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Jackie was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her seventy-six years.
