Jackie, better known as Granny or Gigi, loved life and her most important treasures were her children and grandchildren. Family was very important to her. She will be remembered for her loving heart, witty attitude, and her love for shopping. She loved a good shopping trip, especially to Goodwill, finding all the treasures. She also loved to travel and her favorite place to go was Branson, specifically around Christmas time. She will be remembered for her extravagant Christmas decorations and her love for all things Santa. The grandchildren will always remember her as the keeper of marshmallows, always up for a McDonalds run, and the one that would always buy them a toy, even when she was told they have enough. She will be dearly missed by all who loved and knew her.
