She received her bachelor’s degree from Loyola University in New Orleans, her master’s degree from Texas Southern University in Houston, and her doctorate in education from Northeastern State University in Monroe. Throughout her career, Jackie taught at several institutions but found the most pride in serving as principal of St. Cecilia School in Broussard for several years. A unique soul, Jackie was a devout Catholic who was as faithful as she was funny and found joy as an avid and talented artist who enjoyed drawing and painting.
