She had a profound love for animals, maintaining a full farm with donkeys, goats, pigs, and various other creatures, including snakes, lizards, and turtles. Jackie’s compassion extended to the smallest of creatures, and she tried to save every animal possible. She had a passion for Vikings and history, and Disneyland was one of her favorite places. Above all, she was the best Gigi and mom in the world, living for her grandchildren, who were her best friends, and her children.
