Mrs. Jackie received her education in the Baltimore City school system. She was employed with the PALL CORP until her recent retirement. She cherished every moment spent with family and friends, always offering encouragement, compassion, and a warm smile. Her generous spirit and gentle heart touched countless lives, creating memories that will forever be treasured. 

She was a consistent and devoted Daughter, Sister, Mother, Grand/Great grandmother, and Friend. No matter where you met “Jackie” she made a lasting impression and embarrassed you as her family. Her smile and laughter could fill anny room that she stepped in. To so many she was the person you went to for advice, a hug, a smile, guidance or a trip to the casino.

 Through the many lives she touched the lives of her grand children will be impacted the most. To know her was to know the pride she took in being a present grand/great grandmother.

 Psalm 23

 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house . of the Lord for ever.
