To Jackie's family: I am a court reporter with the State of Iowa and we loved Jackie as our court attendant when working in Independence. She was always SO pleasant and helpful. We looked forward to seeing her smiling face. I am so saddened to hear of her passing on my return from vacation. We just asked about her the last time we were in Independence because her sweet smile was not there and knew she was struggling. My deepest condolences to the family. May you know how special she was to those she worked with also.
