As Jackie became an adult, she met and married her first husband, Daniel Schumacher and had a daughter, Zaniel. She later married Tom Edwards with whom she had two more children Dylan and Morgan. Jackie, or Bing to close family, traveled many places, enjoyed watching squirrels out her windows, fishing off the family cabin dock, thrifting, crafting, a new recipe, social media, her pets and all animals, the Gilmore Girls, and phone calls.
