I am sorry for your loss. Prayed for the family. I worked with her at CFCC. Jackie was a sweet and fun loving lady. She had a good testimony and loved Jesus so take comfort in the fact she is with Him.

I worked with Jackie at Carolina Freight.She was a wonderful lady and would invite us to her house to eat and show us all of her cabbage patch dolls. We had the second annual Carolina Freight Reunion about a month ago and were talking about her and wondered where she was now. The family is in our thoughts and prayers.

May God be with you in this time of sorrow. I worked with Jackie many years at Carolina Freight and will always remember her. Carl and I rented the store in Cherryville for over 5 years with her as well. I'm so sorry I can't make it to the funeral, I just found out about her passing this morning. Every time I pass by her home on Hwy 27, I always wondered where she was. She will always be remembered for her fun and loving ways. Sincerely Carl and Phyllis Moore
