Nobody celebrated life and love like Jackie. She was a well known and well loved person throughout the city of Everett. She worked for many years at Parlin Jr High and had so many accomplishments in her life.  She was a Special Olympian and a very active member of the GBARC variety shows  since the age of 4. She loved the stage and spotlights. She was very active in local politics and loved campaigning for her great political friends. She was a natural.  

Her mother, Eleanor, changed the school system for her and Jackie was mainstreamed and very successful in school and graduated high school in 1985. Her dad, Charlie, created the Elks Record Hop for her 40 years ago and it is still going strong today.

Jackie was honored at the State House in Boston in 2015 as an “Unsung Heroine” of Massachusetts.

She was a hero to us all.
