The Olinski family has always been nurtured by certain individuals. Jackie was one of those people of her generation. Like the loss of our mothers, Mercy and Marie, her passing deeply affects the entire family. Our hearts go out to you, Ace, Allison and Erik. Although we cannot fully understand your devastating loss, we too feel extreme sadness. Hopefully, time will eventually allow us all to only center on the beautiful aspects of her life. Love, Warren and Meighan

I had the priceless privilege of knowing Jackie, her husband, and children as their pastor for many years. Following the church's two pre-school directors, I had the privilege of recommending Jackie to be their successor. In addition to her professional skills, the thing that impressed me most about Jackie was her genuine love of her children. Her legacy lies in the hundreds of persons who carry the lessons she taught them in their young years. She will be sadly (but proudly) missed by her family and all who knew her. May she rest in peace and her memory be a blessing.
