Jackie was a respected manager of the Drawing Department at AO/Schott Fiber Optics.  Jackie was a kind and gentle person who was exceptional at loving, nurturing, listening to, and caring for her loved ones and friends.  Her favorite hobbies were traveling, gardening, listening to music, and she loved to dance!  She enjoyed trips to the casino with her friend, Al Goodreau, spending winters in Florida and summers at Cedar Lake in Sturbridge.  She would never miss a 4:00 "Happy Hour" with a glass of wine in her hand and her beautiful smile.  Jackie also cherished her moments spent in the company of Gerry LeBlanc of Southbridge.  Their companionship and bond allowed them to travel happily together, including a relaxing cruise to Alaska.

Jackie will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her but will live in our hearts forever!

The family would like to extend a special and heartfelt "THANK YOU" to all the Third Floor Staff of the Southbridge Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center for the exceptional care and loving attention they provided to our Jackie - Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother, during her time at their facility.
