Jackie married Gordon Wilson in 1961in Atwater California. Prior marriages were to Hiram Martin Hightower and Ernest Loewen. Jackie and Gordon were meant to be together.

Jackie always wanted a home and children. She was a wonderful home maker and raised six children while helping other moms with daycare and housekeeping.

After moving to Aumsville Oregon, she started her sheep farm. Learning about breeding and veterinary issues she ultimately raised a grand champion sheep at the Marion County Lamb and Wool show in Turner Oregon in1982.

She had an eye for interior decorating and took classes to advance her knowledge. Her home was decorated seasonally with care.

Jackie was caring and accepting of others. She formed deep long-lasting friendships. She found humor in daily life and shared that with others.

Jackie would like to be remembered as the loving, caring, intelligent, and humorous woman she was.
