This selfless giving is exemplified in her donation of her body to science. She was an energetic and loving mother, sister Marion Weiss, aunt, grandmother & great grandmother. Her legacy lives on through her children; Keith & wife Jane, Kenneth & wife Yali. Kendra & husband Gary; five grandchildren Matthew Frigo, Lynn Felts, Blake Frigo, Bryan & Sam Felts, Randolph Arns and her great grandchild Colt Felts. The family thanks all those who cared for her while at the Cedars at the JCA and St. Clair Hospital.

Jackie was my grandma's lifelong friend and over the years she was someone you could count on for a laugh, a smile, an energetic and lively spirit and just the warmest kind-hearted good humor that lit up a room with her energy. I will always admire the memory of her passion for faith, family and friends.

I married into the Quarternik family in 1991. Aunt Jackie was always so much fun to talk to at our family gatherings. Her laugh was infectious. She will be truly missed. You are at Peace now, Aunt Jackie and will suffer no more.
