She was born on June 4, 1951 in Beaumont, Texas the daughter of R.E. O’Bannion and Carolyn Himel.
Jackie was a spirited woman full of charisma, love, and passion for life. She was a city girl turned country after marrying her husband Eddie in Cozumel, Mexico on June 17, 1994. She was a woman who knew the keys to life, which are to love your Lord, be strong in your faith, love your family, and to teach others so that you may pass on your knowledge. Jackie spent her life doing what she loved and that was teaching. She taught in public schools for 30 years and spent 7 more years teaching in the prison system. She was always a very thoughtful woman, making sure to help those that needed it the most. Her strong willed nature and ability to be a caregiver in life helped her in the last few years of her life as she fought the good fight against cancer. In her spare time she enjoyed getting on the tractor with Eddie and going around their cotton fields, she also enjoyed taking trips and going on vacations, especially to the beach. She was a woman who has instilled a lot of knowledge to many people throughout her life, and the lessons she taught will live on for years to come through the many lives she has touched.
