She was raised and educated in Port Chester, NY. Along with raising six children, she owned and operated her own cleaning business and went on to owning Emporio Italian Deli in West Harrison, NY. She also worked for the Port Chester School District as well as the Don Bosco Center in Port Chester, NY. Jacqueline moved to Sarasota, FL in 2002 where she then worked for the Sarasota County School District. Jacqueline's pride and joy was spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Jacqueline's hobbies included trips to the casino, gardening, long walks on the beach and a love for baseball; being a Yankee fan her entire life until she moved to Florida and became a die-hard Tampa Bay Ray's fan. She also was an avid reader and had a beautiful collection of angels. Her beautiful smile could light up an entire room. She will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends.

One of her favorite sayings was: "Surround yourself with people who add a smile to your mile, and joy to your journey".

A charity dear to Jacqueline's heart was St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. If you would like to donate to this fund in her memory, please visit: https://www.stjude.org/donate/donate-to-st-jude.html
