Jackie was born November 19, 1956 before anyone even knew what William Syndrome was. Her pediatrician couldn't figure out what was wrong with her and she was tested for everything. She attended Special Education classes and attended Keystone Rehabilitation and Training Center in Scranton, PA. for years.

She loves music, dancing, and especially fashion and crystal jewelry. Jackie has been making jewelry of her own for years. She loves "The Beatles" and has seen Paul McCartney (her favorite) in person several times. Wherever Jackie goes, people know her and love her. She lives at home with her Mom and works in her mother's boutique several days a week. We call her the "Fashion Police" and Jackie greets all of our customers with her warm friendly smile and greetings.

Jackie will be 50 years old this November and is planning the biggest birthday celebration ever. Jackie and her Mom moved to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1994 from New Jersey and Jackie has participated in Equestrian Special Olympics, where she won several gold and silver medals for her horsemanship skills. Her language skills are amazing and her memory is equally amazing.

Jackie touches the hearts of everyone who meets her and she truly is a gift from God.
