Surviving are two daughters, Lorie (Mark ) Stevens of Rolling Prairie, IN, and Jill (Timothy) Elshire of Carmel, IN; and 12 grandchildren.

Also, surviving is one newborn great-grandson, Zion Elshire of Bismarck, ND.
She was also preceded in death by her brother, James R. Janowski, and infant son James Henry Frankowski.
Jackie loved being a mother and was fortunate to stay home for the girls' early years. She became the neighborhood mom and often had many kids in her home. Later, she worked for many years at Whirlpool and as a custodian for Michigan City High School. She loved to travel, vacation, and spend time with her family. She especially loved her dogs, Mindy, Arie, and Harley. Harley is now a resident of Carmel.
Jacqueline was known for dressing "sassy." If her outfit did not have glitter, sequins, or rhinestones, it was an off day.
