Jacquie worked in the medical field in various positions for over 40 years while living in Calgary and Victoria.

Jacquie was an avid fan of Canadian football and hockey and thoroughly enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping.
The family sends their thanks to Dr. Richard Cone and nursing staff at the Palliative Care Unit of NRGH for their special care.
