After graduation, Jackie served in the United States Army as a Specialist 4  (Unit Supply). When her service to our country ended with an honorable discharge in 1984, Jackie returned to Canton Ohio where she raised her family.

Jackie served in several  capacities at Faith Family such as: Prison Ministry Connect Group, HHH Connect Group, where she was the Assistant Group Leader, and a Serve Day Volunteer. Jackie was an avid sports fan who loved watching the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Guardians and Ohio State Buckeyes. She loved nature,       enjoyed bird watching, especially majestic hawks & eagles. Jackie never missed a chance to live her life to fullest. She was always up for an     adventure like zip-lining, white water rafting, casino visits and traveling to new places. Most of all, Jackie enjoyed spending time with those she loved and cared for.
