Jackie was an energetic and caring person, extremely devoted to her family and relatives, and always willing to help others. She was a dedicated teacher, a hard-working member and volunteer at her church, and a person who enjoyed life and traveled often. We will miss her dearly. Jackie and Bobby spent many loving years together and our hearts go out to Bob during this sad occasion. I'm sure their wonderful memories will provide some relief.
