Jackie was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who gave selflessly of her time. She treasured her family and enjoyed gathering together over a holiday meal, relaxing on the beach, teaching Sunday School, spending time with her dog, Ginger, and playing the autoharp and guitar. Jackie had a kind heart, a good sense of humor, and a laugh that would make you smile. A blessing to everyone who knew and loved her, she will be deeply missed.

“God himself will be with them, and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes
and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.
The former things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:3,4)
Jackie was a great help when I pastored the Pinetop Church for 6 years. She certainly will be missed.
