Jackie lived life to the fullest and was passionate about her friends, animals, and outdoor activities. Jackie was a good athlete and loved softball, bass fishing, boating, water skiing, golfing, and maintaining a well-manicured yard. Her favorite pastime was riding her Harley-Davidson motorcycle with friends.
