Post College on Long Island.  She married her husband, Roy Rowland in 1981 and lived in Beacon, NY before moving to Cornwall, NY in 1986.  They lived there for many years raising their two children before moving into what was to be their retirement home on Scovil Road in South Colton in July of 2023.

Jackie was an avid crafter and enjoyed sewing and knitting/ making beautiful pieces of clothing and costumes for her family and herself.  She was an avid reader and could consume an entire novel in a day.  She liked to collect little things from nature and never lost her sense of curiosity.  She loved to bake and cook and was well appreciated by her family for her homemade bread, cookies and mac-n-cheese.

She was deeply loved by her husband, mother, children and grandchildren.

Memorial contributions may be made in her memory to Hospice & Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley.
