Jackie was born June 24, 1915 in Fleming County to the late Henry and Georgia Newdigate.
Jackie loved her family and friends, her church and her home in Flemingsburg. You would often see her with her friends Martha, Susie and Helen on the go around town.

She was known to her many grand and great grandchildren as Maw Jack. Jackie was a long time member of the St Charles Catholic Church and was retired from Fleming County Meat Packing Company.
