Together they had four children, nine grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. Unfortunately, Judd passed away in 1982.
Jackie married Arnold Cook in 1991, residing in Au Gres during the summers and snow birding in Texas before he passed away in 2012. She loved line dancing, shuffle boarding, playing bean bag baseball, puzzles, traveling, painting, making miniature dollhouses, dancing, playing cards, going on cruises with her mother, and spending time with her family.
