She was an outstanding witness to her faith in the Lord and provided a living example through her actions. She was a trained Stephen Minister. She enjoyed meeting and talking with people and kept friendships active from childhood to college, across time and place.
She is survived by her husband, Phil Cashen; daughter Kendall Day and son Jordan Day; stepson, Peter Cashen; sister and brother, Joelynn (Michael Hertel), and Joseph (Bonnie) Gifford; loving nieces and nephews and many friends.

Dear Jody and Joe. I just want to say how many great memories I have with Jackie growing up. I always think of her when I hear Sgt. Pepper's, as she introduced me to the album in your kitchen way back when. I am so sad this has happened. I am keeping you and all your family in my prayers and I will always treasure my many many memories with Jackie. Cathy Ruffing
