Jackie blessed others with her gifts of crafts, sewing, knitting and crocheting but the love a good book and country music kept her relaxed.
Jackie was a people person and a trip to town meant chatting with anyone, having a laugh, getting the news or just giving you a smile. She loved her cat, Meiko who never tired of her gentle touch, but her special love was for her grandchildren who will miss her dearly.
