Jackie was one of a kind. She said what she was thinking whether it was popular or not and she always stood for excellence. I respected her for that. I knew her since 1974 when I came to Downstate as the medical center's Affirmative Action Officer and was particularly interested in the few female faculty in the basic sciences. Jackie never wanted to deal with issues of sex in her field for her, it was always a matter of competence and was she ever! Her humor and knowledge in so many arenas is sure to be missed.

I had the honor to teach together with Professor Jackway for many years, and greatly benefited from her experience and profound knowledge. I will always remember her positive influence on faculty and students.

Thank you Dr. Jakway. During my short time at Downstate I was often able to count on you to carry out some of the most rigorous admissions interviews we needed done. We felt fortunate to have you involved, and to have your objective assessments. In your quiet way, you were one of the best representatives of someone in the medical profession. And I will always remember your supportive words to me, when I most needed some encouragement. May all the blessings of life come to you now.
