Jackie, a proud native of Omaha, Nebraska, attended Central High School where she excelled as a Cheerleader, often reminiscing about those unforgettable years. She pursued her studies in Business at the University of Nebraska Omaha. In 1993, she tied the knot with Louis Leahy, a childhood friend. With a big heart and unwavering kindness, Jackie embraced Louis' five children as if they were her own. Throughout her life, she remained a beacon of positivity, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. Jackie's resilience and unwavering spirit were an inspiration to all who knew her. Her selflessness and genuine concern for others were reflected in her actions, whether lending a listening ear or offering a warm embrace. Above all, Jackie cherished her family, friends, caretakers, and loyal puppy Toby always going above and beyond to show her love and appreciation. She will be forever in our hearts!
