Jackie was born in Pender, Nebraska, but grew up in Hennessey, Oklahoma. In 1987, she moved to Omaha, Nebraska where she lived for five years then moved to Decatur. She married her husband, Lance in 1993. They have two daughters, Ivy and Juliana. She came to know Jesus in 1997. Her and her husband, through his Uncle’s death, brought them to LOTW. When they first started attending church, she would watch the Pastor’s wife take the little children back for children’s church, and felt that she needed to be apart of the solution. God led her to help in the children’s work.

While she is no longer a part of the Children’s Ministry, she is currently one of the Young Women’s Ministry leaders.

She prays that the Lord will bless every child, their salvation, and their families.
