Jackie was a wife, mother, grandmother, friend, teacher and humanitarian, who was very sensitive and concerned for the disabled, forgotten,and vulnerable. She supported various causes including quality education for the youth. Jackie had a career in Public and Private school education. The last 18 years of her career she was employed at the Media-Providence Friends School in Media, Pa., as Business Manager. She had a great love for children and children’s education.

Jackie was full of life and her constant loving and caring energy was contagious. She always strived to help those in need and loved animals, especially her dogs Max and Harley. Family gatherings at the beach and holiday meals together were always joyous occasions filled with smiles and laughter. Without fail, Jackie always made a point to call and sing to her children and her grandchildren on their birthdays. Jackie would often ask her grandchildren “How much do I love you?”, to which she would immediately respond with, “too much!” She was as proud and as strong as they come,and her unwavering dedication to her family was unconditional and absolute. She would always tell her loved ones no matter where they were in life, the most important thing to have, to rely on, and to keep closest in life — is family. She lived this way every day of her life with a spirit as vibrant as her signature red hair.
