Jackie spent her years as a dedicated wife and homemaker. She was a faithful saint of God and attended the Yelm Jesus Name Pentecostal Church. She loved her children, grandchildren and all her family with a fervent passion. Jackie was happiest just being with them or doing things for them. She called each of their names one by one each time she prayed. She was a bright and shining light in her families' lives. She loved god more than life itself and instilled his same love with her children and grandchildren by being a living example of her beliefs. Due to her lifelong dedication to God, many of her family members are saved today. She left behind a wonderful legacy, and is missed immensely.
