Jackie spent many years working as a clerk at Geifman’s in Davenport, retiring in 1986. In earlier years, one of Jackie’s favorite pastimes was watching her sons play Little League baseball. She had been a longtime active member of First Christian Church. She loved to crochet and knit and was a member of a club that made and donated prayer shawls to others in need. She was passionate about her volunteer work for Genesis Hospice and Clarissa C. Cook Hospice House, and was the volunteer with the most years of service. Jackie was an avid reader, and in recent years enjoyed reading her Bible daily at 4:30 a.m. She also enjoyed watching birds, and especially loved dogs and taking her dog Tilly to the dog park. It would also not be uncommon to see her watching “Judge Judy” daily.
