Jackie was such a wonderful co-worker. I had the pleasure to work with her for many years at MBNA/Bank of America for the Wood co./Sodexo. I remember her loving Penn State and her family. She was so dedicated to her work and had a wonderful attention to detail. She was always happy and had a contagious smile. She will be missed!

Tompkins family: I got to know Jackie while working for MBNA and then Bank of America. She was a sweet and warm person through and through. She would always tell my co-workers and I, “It’s pasta day tomorrow!” She knew how much we loved Pasta Day Wednesday! I am truly heartbroken with the news of her passing and I was praying for her well being and recovery. I will continue to pray for the healing of hearts, comfort and warmth for you all. God Speed Jackie!!! You will be missed but not forgotten!
