Jackie was a loving and devoted mother to her children and a wellspring of laughter in the household.

Jackie was a voracious reader and true to her Irish roots, enjoyed the art of good storytelling. A New Yorker to the core, Jackie was 5^th generation born in the state and forever loved the beauty of its beaches. Her humor, love and compassion will be missed by all who knew her.
