Jackie was a giving and caring person who gave her all to family, friends, and the many people she touched. She enjoyed arts, crafts, flower gardening and spending time with her family no matter what they had planned. Her family and friends will think of her often and remember her unique desire for peanut M & M's, folded potato chips or the bubble in pizza crust and the ends of hard crust bread that she was always given the privilege to have.
