From their union, they were blessed with four wonderful boys: Alexander (T-Bone) Jr., Anthony, Antoine, and Aaron Jackson (all from Chester, PA). Jackie was a phenomenal mother who had a special connection with each of her boys, but also ensured they had a close connection with each other. She mastered the art of making each of them feel special in their own way while bringing out the best in them. She would often call them “My Boys.” Jackie also had a special bond with her three nephews who were always at her house; Deloyd (Mustafa) Garrett, Jahbar (deceased) and Jahbril Washington, whom she raised like her own when her sister (Lorraine) passed away. Although Jackie had a close bond with “Her Boys,” she had an even deeper love for ALL her grandkids: Alex III, Destiny, Ariana, Amari, Iamiyah, Andre and Rian. She cared for, adored, and helped raise her granddaughter, Anya L. Jackson (deceased). Jackie resumed her career working in retail at the Granite Run Mall in Media, PA and then on to Child Development at the ChiChester Kinder School where she absolutely cherished working with the children and staff, especially Allyson Woods. She left there to take care of her ailing mother whom she showed unconditional love and compassion. Jackie was truly exceptional at delivering impeccable adult care to her mother. Jacqueline L.
