Jackie graduated from Joliet High School, Class of 1952. She was a member of St. Maria Goretti Senior Citizens Club for the Deaf. She enjoyed cross stitch and crotchet, many hours at the table working on puzzles and cheering for the Chicago Bears and Chicago Bulls. She always had a smile and an ILY wave for those she met. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Lovingly survived by her granddaughter Jennifer Miner and her husband John of Crown Point, IN, her granddaughter Stephany McCarty of Valparaiso, her 3 precious great grandchildren, Madison Miner, JJ Miner and Isabell Eckenrode and her dear sister Camille (Bailey) Shroba of Joliet IL.
