After graduating from Logansport High School, she attended Meadows-Draughons Business School and received a degree in Business in 1952. She was an avid pianist and was said to have dated an up-and-coming singer and musician, Floyd Cramer, and played duets at the Business School Girls Inn with him on the piano. However, during that time, she met a dashing young airman from Barksdale Air Force Base, and she caught his eye and his heart. Mershel M. Brady, commonly known as just ‘Brady.’ They began dating and married on July 2, 1952. Being the wife of an Air Force Airman meant they moved to various Bases throughout the United States, but settled down after Brady’s retirement in Bossier City, La. While living in Bossier City, Jackie became the executive secretary to the president of Life Share Louisiana Blood Center in Shreveport, where she worked for up to twenty years until retirement.

Jackie had a love for books and spent much time reading. She was also a talented seamstress and lovingly made her children and granddaughters numerous outfits.
