Jackie was born on March 31, 1938 in Columbus, GA to the late Neal S. and Leurie Hyson Wynn.

Jackie was a proud member of the Bowling Leagues of Columbus, holding the position of secretary and president for many years. She was a proud member of the Red Hat Society which she enjoyed immensely. Gardening and bowling were two of her favorite hobbies.
