Jacqueline graduated from Corfu High School in 1946 and retired from Fisher Price in Medina in 1989. She was a member of The Cornerstone Church of East Pembroke, Pembroke Historical Society and Indian Falls Senior Citizens Group.
In her younger years, Jackie and her husband belonged to the Ford Wagon Train RV Club, a family oriented camping club available to Ford employees and their family and friends traveling the country. They also had many fond memories camping at the former Indian Falls Lake. She spent endless hours knitting afghans, sewing and crocheting baby hats for newborns. She loved technology and computers, driving her car and taking her friends who no longer were able to drive to lunch and doctor appointments. Jackie loved to listen to country music. She had the art of calligraphy and had the most beautiful handwriting.
Jackie was a strong Christian woman whose faith guided her. She had many challenges in her time. She faced them all with strength and determination. Her memories we shall treasure.
The family would like to thank the LeRoy Village Green staff for the kind and compassionate care that she received during her stay.
