On November 13, 1976 she married the man that captured her heart, Craig Dean DeBoer. Jackie and Craig welcomed the birth of their much beloved son, Burke Dean DeBoer to the world on June 7, 1993. She was the youngest of 7 children and was always, and will always, be their "baby girl".
Jackie worked for many years as the office manager for Mr. John Kendall when he owned the radio station KRCO and continued handling much of his business affairs after he sold the station.
Jackie loved photography and kept a pictorial journey of all our lives. She also enjoyed creating videos for and about all those she loved.
She loved her horses and had many favorites over the years.
She and Craig eventually began their own "little cattle herd" and they raised and sold livestock for many years. She named all the livestock as they were bought and born and she had the "tongue in cheek" habit of naming one of them, at some time or another, after each one of her siblings.
