The mother of my three amazing grandchildren and she takes great of care of my son too. Jackie is a teacher, mother, sister, daughter, friend and mask maker. When this whole ‘wear masks’ thing came about, Jackie jumped at the chance to start right away. First it was for family members, then word got out and Jackie was sewing night and day. People were texting, calling, emailing, and sending Facebook messages wanting masks. Jackie has not charged anyone for masks, this started out with all her time money and effort. She mailed masks to VA, Morgantown, Huntington and places I probably have no clue about. She has made masks for family, teachers, friends, nursing homes and people she does not even know. People have made monetary donations, given her fabric, picked up supplies and helped her out as much as they can but all the sewing and hard work came from her. Jackie is a teacher at Frankford Elementary School in Frankford WV and she misses her job but most of all her kids. She has made a big impact in our community. Jackie has made more than 659 masks and is working on masks for Greenbrier County School Bus drivers.
