Jackie's life centered around her faith, her friends, and her family. Whether working at church festivals, attending Renew groups, or Rosary meetings, her strong faith and daily prayers gave her guidance and support throughout her life. Jackie maintained several close friendships over the years with the "club" ladies from her school days, neighbors from 15th Street, past co-workers, church friends, or new apartment friends, Jackie was a loyal and caring friend.
Nothing made Jackie happier than her family. Celebrating holidays, especially Christmas with Oplatki, were important as it was a special time when everyone could be together. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, especially babysitting in their younger days.
She will always be remembered as our
"Gentle mother, quiet light
Evening Star so strong & bright
Tender mother peaceful dove
Taught us wisdom taught us love. "
