Jackie and I were friends for many years. We worked together in Muhlenberg’s ER. We enjoyed shopping and visiting New York.
Jackie was very family oriented and spoke fondly of her children and grandchildren.
She was generous, optimistic and loved all that life had to offer.
Sympathy to her family.

I worked in registration when Jackie worked in the ER at Muhlenberg.
Jackie was quick to help with information and pleasant to work with.
I last saw her a few years ago at the Marble Head Restaurant and she was
still so upbeat and easy to talk to; I am glad I had that time with her.
May God comfort her family thru this difficult time,
