Several years later they had a healthy boy named Robert. Edward was a musician and after his retirement from the military, they opened a music studio, Zell Music in Woodbridge, Virginia. Edward taught music classes and Jackie ran the store.

After many years and when they were ready to retire, they decided to move to Kissimmee, Florida to be close to Jackie’s family. They bought a historical home, and Jackie loved working in her yard.

She spent many hours looking at maps from around the world. She had an extremely sharp mind and stressed to all her grandchildren to read every day. She had a dignity and class about her one could see within minutes of being with her.
