Jackie was preceded in death by her husband John; brothers in law, Larry Charles and Dan Woods; sisters in law Sherry Charles, Beverly Charles, Shirley Woods, and her parents.

Her love will continue to guide us, and her memory will live on in the stories we share and the lessons she taught us. Rest in peace, dear mother. You will always be loved, always remembered and never forgotten.
