Jacqueline was a longtime member of Providence United Methodist Church. She had previously been a charter member of St. Paul United Methodist Church of Charlotte, where she founded and directed a pre-school kindergarten.

Mrs. Lovings enjoyed her bridge clubs, dancing, creating crafts and floral arrangements, traveling with her husband, and going to the beach in the fall. Most of all, this kind and gentle lady was a dedicated homemaker, devoted wife and inspiring mother. Her spirit was love, her faith unwavering. Jacqueline was truly the heart of her family.
