Jackie was born on March 28, 1954, in Oil City, PA, to Mr. Leroy Ziegler and Mrs. Genevieve M. McDonald. Jackie graduated from Cranberry Area High School in 1974 and worked many years as a caregiver and in childcare. Jackie was a proud wife, mother, grandmother and friend to everyone she met. She was always smiling, laughing and never missed an opportunity to make a new memory with her loved ones. Jackie knew the value of being prepared and was always on time. You could depend on her. Jackie always made the best of any situation and did so with grace and love. She was most proud of being independent, strong and teaching her children and grandchildren the same. She expected the best and she gave her best in return. Jackie was survived by her beloved husband, Mr. Barry A.
