Jackie was greatly respected by her peers in the industry.

Unable to have children, Jackie, as a young adult, fell in love with the Chow-Chow dog breed and adopted her first puppy. This love continued until she had spoiled six puppies over her lifetime.

Jackie recognized each season and holiday by displaying her flags and special decorations. She loved to decorate. The holiday season of Thanksgiving thru New Years was her favorite time of the year.

She will be remembered for her love of life and vibrant personality. Her passion for life was engaging and contagious. Jackie’s smile and beautiful blue eyes will be missed by all who loved her.

On Angels wings Jackie was taken
But in my heart she will stay
In Gods light she will rest
Until we meet again someday.
