Jacquie was a humble, faithful servant for God. She always looked for people who needed recognition and love. She was always focused on others and their needs. She possessed many talents, but chose not to talk about them. She quietly walked through life making it a better world for many!
She will be greatly missed by family and friends who were touched by her love and her life of serving others.
