Jackie began working for her brother in law, Dr. Jack Fredrickson, DDS and continued to do so until his retirement at which time she began working for Dr. Jeffrey Lysdale DDS, the new owner. She loved the interaction she had with "the girls in the office" and the patients. Jackie was a member of Grace Episcopal Church where she was actively involved with volunteer work and supported the church with a strong conviction to God. She enjoyed working along side her church family including Shirley Bowens and Barb Bramlett. Another love of Jackie's was attending Curves.
