Jackie was born in Webster, South Dakota. She grew up in Saint Paul, Minnesota and married her high school sweetheart, Marc, in May 1967. She was a student of cosmetology, real estate, and pharmacy technology. She was everyone’s favorite Avon lady. She also worked for Brimhall School as a lunch lady and Comfort Bus Company.

Jackie was a mother first and foremost. She loved her children deeply and had a strong faith in the love of HER Jesus and blessed Virgin Mary. She also had a sixth sense and was a prayer warrior. She loved her gardens and working with the soil. Her animals were precious to her. She loved to laugh and loved a good April’s Fool's joke. She was known for her love of dancing. People couldn’t wait to get the chance to dance with her and was a memory for most. We want to thank the people at Good Life Assisted Living for taking good care of our mother.
