I will always cherish our karaoke times with Jackie and Dennis. Jackie always brightened up the night. One of her favorites to sing was “Grandpa Tell Me Bout the Good old Days.” Will never hear that song without thinking about Jackie. Love you and will always think fondly of you. Pam Swasta
Jackie was warm and wonderful…a good friend to me and so many others. I have so many happy memories of our good times together. Those of us who are still among the living have been diminished by her passing. Rest in peace, my buddy, in the arms of your husband and daughter.
Jackie was a fun-loving friend. We shared lots of family stories while enjoying our friendship playing cards and eating out together with friends. She will be missed at our get together. Rest In Peace my friend.

Jackie grew up in my home place in Mount Pleasant Pennsylvania. Ann and Jack Grimm lived on the first floor with Jackie. I have a few pictures of all of them together with my mom and dad when she was young. I will cherish them forever. God speed Jackie!!
I am so sad to hear of Jackies passing. She was a second mother to me all through elementary school and beyond! She was amazing and I loved being around her with Erin. My sincere sympathy goes out to the rest of the family.
