In 1973, Jacqueline married the love of her life, Robert T. Knox, and together they built a family rooted in love and togetherness over their 52 years of marriage. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond her profession, as she also served as a caretaker for several families within her community.

Above all, she treasured moments spent with her family, including her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and friends she considered family.
