After graduating from Woodrow Wilson High School, where she met Jack, she attended Peirce Junior College in Philadelphia and Trenton State College in Trenton, NJ.

Sellers (Rachel); Joslin, Andrew, and Thomas Sellers; Ashlynd and Carter Sellers; Maximilian and Alexandra Pazicky; and Abeni Williams. She was also blessed with a great-granddaughter, Elsie Grace Sellers. She was an active member of Saint James Episcopal Church for many years, where she had served on the vestry and was president of the ECW (Episcopal Church Women). At St. James she also served as chairman of the dining room for Towne Fair, was a member of the Steeple People, Planned Giving Committee, a Lay Eucharistic Visitor, Marriage Preparation Presenter, and ambassador to the Water Street Rescue Mission. In addition to her church, she was active in the community. She was past president and treasurer of The Towne Club of Lancaster, secretary of the Manheim Township Women’s Club, president, secretary, and treasurer for the Caper Club, and a member of the Iris Club. She also served on the board of the Manheim Township Superintendent’s Lay Advisory Council, was a member of the Occupational Development Auxiliary, and the Northbrook Hills Bible Study. Family, faith, and friends were important to her. Jackie loved traveling in the U.S. and abroad, reading, growing African violets, and playing bridge.
