Jackie was raised on a ranch near Orofino in Clearwater County.

She graduated from Timberline High School in 1975. She loved the out doors and was an outstanding horse woman. One of the highlights of her life was being selected queen of the Weippe Rodeo in 1972. After moving to Coeur d’Alene she enjoyed riding with the Coeur d’Alene Saddlelite drill team.

Installing and repairing sprinkler systems was one of her favorite parts of the job. She retired 15 years ago because of her health.

Thanks to Life Care Center of Coeur d’Alene for the care given to Jackie over the past 10 years. A very special thanks to Hospice House of North Idaho where Jackie spent the last few days of her life, the care and compassion that she and the rest of her family received was invaluable.
