Jackie attended Streator grade schools and Streator High School. She was formerly employed at the former Thatcher Glass and lastly at Starved Rock Lodge. Jackie enjoyed camping, being outdoors and spending time with her family and friends. Her love is one of a kind if you felt it, you were lucky. Her grandchildren brought her great joy. She was a caregiver by nature and ensured her family was taken care of. She would drop anything if her loved ones needed help. She had a deep faith in God that has guided her through her life. She had the heart of a saint whose love was genuine and has shown compassion and empathy to anyone that had met her. Jackie had a radiant soul that could be seen through her beautiful blue eyes and her bright smile. She is missed dearly already and will be carried in the hearts of all the people who love her.
Memorials may be made in her name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
