I hadn't seen or spent much time with Jackie, but the woman that I had met only a handful of times, had a big heart and was always very kind. She will be missed by many, as she absolutely left an imprint with everyone she came in contact with. My thoughts & condolences with her friends & family in this difficult time.

I had the fortunate opportunity to work with Jackie for several years when she led the WIOA Office for the State of NH. She was a taskmaster and driven to "do right" for the people she served. She knew all the ins and outs of the WIOA system and she made sure that NH got its fair share of support dollars. As a side bar, my daughter Jen and her daughter Heather went to Merrimack High School together. She loved her kids and grandkids. Rest in peace Jackie!

Jackie was one of the most talented and driven persons I’ve ever known.
I recall emergency meetings with different Governors who faced very difficult mass layoffs (paper mills!). All agency heads, commissioners and local officials would sit around a big table and listen to Jackie Heuser’s data about how every single laid off person and their family could be helped, and her proposed plans to help the community. She had them enthralled.
Jackie led.she bossed very wellshe would fight you, debate you, disagree unless she saw some weight to your side. She was fantastic to work with, and for.
Jackie was always someone who remembered who she was and where she came from.
Lord, you’ve called home our best.

Dear Heather,Lindsey and Family;
Please accept my deepest sympathy I am sharing in your sadness. Jackie was my friend and colleague for decades. She was as dedicated to her friendships as she was to her career. A gift for so many. Heather and Lindsey you were the light of her life. She talked about you and your children always. Your mother will always be part of your memories.
I hope you enjoy the comfort they will bring you when it’s time.
My sincere condolences.
