Jackie's family moved to Napoleon, Michigan when she was sixteen years old. She graduated from high school in the same class as her future husband Greg. Jackie had a talent and passion for music starting with playing the piano in her early teens and continuing through singing in the church choir and a ladies trio with her sister and cousin. She studied music at Spring Arbor College, played the piano and organ for the church, and later directed the Loomis Park Baptist Church Choir, and led the churches overall music program. Jackie also studied in the natural health field, and worked as a health and diet consultant.
