Jackie spent many of her summers growing up with her family in Bridgton Maine. She attended Vermont Junior College and worked for many years at the Institute of Certified Travel Agents in Wellesley while raising her children. During retirement, Jackie enjoyed her volunteer work at Leonard Morse Hospital in Natick and spending summers with her husband and family at their summer home in Limerick Maine. 

Jackie’s family would like to thank Bessey, Alice and Janet from At Your Service home care for their many years of heartfelt care of Jackie. They made it possible for her to remain in her home and provided the kind of care that we could have only dreamed possible. In addition, we would also like to thank the staff of Thomas Upham House for their kind and diligent care during her short time there. 

The family will have a private service and burial. In lieu of flowers, donations to the MSPCA would be greatly appreciated.
