Jackie worked as a waitress for much of her life, but her greatest joy was her family. She was a loving wife, mother, mother hen, grandmother, and great-grandmother who devoted her heart to those she loved. Jackie had a special place in her heart for her grandchildren, and the years she spent with them were among her most precious. The most precious thing in her later years was her grandson Ryan; she lived life for him. Her love and presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She is also survived by many other grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins. 

Jackie was preceded in death by her parents, Alfred Criswell and Dempsey Barbee Nail; her five siblings, Ricky Criswell, Glen Criswell, Jennie Floyd, Retha Morris, John Criswell. Her daughter, Jaka (Nix) Highfield; stepson, Billy Hall; grandchildren, Jake Highfield & Misty Highfield.

Jackie's love for her family was the foundation of her life. Though she will be missed by all who knew and loved her, the memories she created and the love she shared will remain in the hearts of her family for years to come.
