Her family will miss her deeply although they rest assured that she has entered eternal peace and comfort. Jackie will be remembered as a loving mother, doting grandmother, sister, and friend. She was an amazing nurse and not only healed sickness and injuries but most importantly hearts, Jackie was considered a true Angel on earth. Jackie was a giving and caring person who gave her all to family, friends, and the many people she touched. She enjoyed arts, crafts, flower gardening and spending time with her family no matter what they had planned. Her family and friends will think of her often and remember her unique desire for peanut M & M's, folded potato chips or the bubble in pizza crust and the ends of hard crust bread that she was always
given the privilege to have.
