As she grew older, Jacki developed a definite talent for art. She was surrounded by all of these older sisters and her brother so she learned all the Beatles music, still today she knows all the words and can supply the arrangement while one sings along with her, (she's especially good doing the horns!) She loved her dolls and played with them all the time. She was extremely intelligent and quick, but didn't want to overshadow Kim, so she kept a low profile as she got older and developed intellectually. She attended a private college for four years, staying in a dorm and coming home in the summers. After graduation she worked at a local college for a year. She then worked for a savings and loan in the "big city" for awhile but found she preferred small town life.
Today Jacki is the single mother of two children, "Blythe" and "Hunter". She still loves her music and enjoys sending cards and thoughtful notes and finding little gifts for people on special occasions. She has her own home not far from the rest of us, which she has been upgrading as she goes along, decorating the interior in her own distinctive way with antiques, family heirlooms and photos. She works part-time for her local school board and this year is starting in a new department there. Her life is full taking her kids to school and church events, T-ball, dance classes and gymnastics. Jacki tries to have quiet time with Blythe and Hunter as well, reading to them and having quality family activities. Then there are days when they just lay around, watch old movies, eat comfort food and shake out the sillies. When time permits Jacki also likes going to the movies, shopping, having dinner out with her friends or sisters and going on trips. She has a few trips planned including staying at an island for a vacation and traveling to Michigan for a family wedding.
