Jackie was born in Innisfail, Alberta in November 1946. Growing up on the family farm, she first attended the Heckla school, then Dixon, then was in the first graduating class in Spruceview.

Jackie moved to Red Deer in 1965, working at Michener Centre. It was during this time she met Armond Goodeye, whom she married on September 14, 1967. During the years that followed, Jackie had three children and worked at various locations, including the Red Deer Regional Hospital, Earl’s restaurant and Glenn’s Family Restaurant.

Jackie was very much involved in her children’s endeavours. She was a hockey mom as well as a ringette, basketball, softball and baseball mom.

She also enjoyed camping and road trips.
