Next only to her love for God, Jackie loved her family. She prayed fervently for them by name daily and desired that each one would be saved and serve the Lord. She also loved her church family and enjoyed the many friendships she made. She served in many capacities over the years including church secretary, youth director and Sunday School teacher. She loved attending weekly ladies' bible studies and the fellowship there.
