Jackie was born on May 14, 1938 in Lisbon, a daughter of the late Delbert and Mary (Martin) Harper. She graduated from Lisbon High School in 1955 and was united in marriage to George B. LaBrake Jr. on October 4, 1958. Together they shared many devoted and loving years.

Jackie was employed at the United Helpers Lisbon IRA for over 23 years, where she worked as a cook and was known for her warm smile and caring heart. She was a faithful member of St. Philip & James Catholic Church and enjoyed spending time with the St. Lawrence Border Line Dancers. In her quieter moments, Jackie found happiness in knitting and tending to her beautiful flower gardens, always taking pride in creating warmth and beauty for those around her.

Above all, Jackie cherished her family. She will be remembered for her kindness, her steady strength, and the love she gave so freely. Her presence will be deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
