Jacqueline was currently employed part-time at Grand Rapids Nursing Home. Before that, she worked at Perrysburg KinderCare Child Care Center. Her full-time employment included Toledo Public Schools as a senior accountant and, prior to that, Reichert and Associates, CPAs, as an auditor.

Jacqueline loved hot air ballooning, including the annual balloon fest in Findlay, Caribbean Cruises, the yearly winter family trip to Pokagon State Park, her two cats, JC and Jack, the television show "Golden Girls," and Thursday night dinners with her parents.

Jacqueline's many good qualities included her compassion for the elderly, handicapped, and small children. Her volunteering experiences gave her great joy.

Jackie was loved by her uncles in Santa Fe. They will remember her as always generous, caring, and selfless. A truly beautiful individual, inside and out.

A special thank you to her best friend, Neil Morrison, who spent many hours with Jackie laughing, sharing dreams, and giving her hope.
