I met Jackie twenty years ago when she worked at Plexco. She was right from the beginning a very sweet, personable, genuine and caring lady. She always treated me with kindness and Genuine concern. She was a special person. I expect to look up and see a new star shining brighter than the rest. Prayers for her family.

Jackie was a beautiful person both inside and out. She & her entire family always made you feel welcome. Don & I were 1st introduced to "corn hole" & to Terrys "man-cave" when we enjoyed a holiday dinner with her entire family. My family, Dawn, Koye & Kara + Nevaeh (Koyes daughter) could not have found a better, more loyal friend than Jackie. We will cherish the memories. Rest in the loving arms of Jesus.

Some of us, well let's be honest most of us, know someone that we would like to be. For a lot of people it is a movie star. For me it was Jackie Jeffries. I was part of her Performance Pipe (and long after that) family. You were-are that star for me Jack. I wanted to shine bright like you in every way, sparkle like you with that beautiful smile, and have others adore me as they do you whe you make us laugh. Both of us Jackie's, from Ohio, Birthday's in May and both pregnant at the same time with our youngest children. You are so very special to me. I'll have an extra Snow Ball for ya Jack. Love you. You will forever by my star Jack.
