Jacqueline was born in Walkerton, Ontario where she attended Sacred Heart Elementary Highschool. She joined her new husband in the small mining town of Elliot Lake in 1960. Jacqueline graduated from the RNA nursing course at St. Joseph’s General Hospital and worked at St. Joseph’s General Hospital, Dr. Cassar’s Medical Clinic, Dr. Moody and Jane Lyon Spruce Clinic. In order to spend more time with her parents and grandchildren, she changed jobs to work part-time at Canada Post.

She especially looked forward to their yearly ski trips with their three granddaughters. Jacqueline and George also enjoyed traveling to numerous places including Australia, New Zealand, China, Greece, Italy, Austria and Ireland.
