In 1956, Jackie graduated from Asheboro High School and married the love of her life, Arlie, on June 15. Together they raised their children; Bonnie, Vernon, Lannette, and Deanna, whom she was reunited with when she arrived in Heaven. Her greatest blessings, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, were spoiled by her endless supply of chocolates and the many delicious desserts she baked. Jackie was most known for her sewing skills. She was a talented seamstress who gifted friends and family with her creations. Her most notable works of art are her quilts. Jackie shared her talents with many while attending and teaching quilting classes at the Randolph County Senior Adult Association. Many quilts were made for her grandchildren's weddings and the births of her great-grandchildren, but she also made many quilts for benefit raffles and auctions. As an active member of New Center Christian Church, she donated a quilt to every benefit hosted at the church, helping many families in need. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Arlie Elton Brown; and daughter, Deanna Brown.
