She held fast to her faith and relied on prayer and her trust in God to sustain her throughout her life. Jacqueline "Jackie" was a product of the Orleans Parish Public School System and a 1962 graduate of George Washington Carver High School. During the early parts of her adulthood, she worked as a dental nursing assistant and in 1977 she prepared herself for a career change and wanted to serve in her community.

She enjoyed her work and was well respected by her colleagues, along with others whom she provided Homing assistance to. Jacqueline will be dearly missed by all children, brothers and sisters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as a host of cousins and friends.
