Jackie attended Provo City Schools. She worked at Signetics, she waitressed and then worked at North American Manufacturing.

She loved all animals but especially cats. She had a tender heart for any stray that came around. Growing up on a farm she helped raise many animals by bottle feeding. Calves, sheep, goats, kittens and even pigs. Her favorite was a piglet runt she named Elmer who grew to be huge.

Jackie from a very early age had a talent for jigsaw puzzles. She always had a puzzle on a table in her living room she was working on.

Jackie, though she never had children of her own, loved children. She was a favorite babysitter of the families in the neighborhood.

In January of 2023, she moved from the family home in Provo to The Seville (which is now Solista) in Orem. She enjoyed living there and making some new friends, the entertainment and doing some of the activities.
