Jackie was born January 12, 1950 to Cecil (deceased) and Mildred Davis in Sioux City Iowa.  She attended public school, graduating from Central High School in 1968.  Jackie then went on to a local business school obtaining a secretarial degree.

Jackie accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior at an early age at Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church.

She was a gifted musician.  Jackie played piano and organ for the Mount Zion Junior Choir.  She played clarinet in the Central High School Marching Band.  Additionally, she sang with the Sioux City Municipal Choir. 

Jackie moved from Sioux City to New York shortly after her business degree graduation.  She held several clerical positions before she began working for New York State.  She rose through the ranks of the Bernard Fineson Developmental Disabilities Services to become a Group House Manager overseeing three homes.  After thirty-eight years of service she retired.  She was now able to travel, one of her dreams, both inside and outside the United States.  She was a constant participant at the Ollison-Ellis Family reunions which allowed her to travel to various states such as Iowa, Colorado, Arkansas, Texas, Wisconsin, and Michigan.  Outside of the US, she visited Guyana, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cozumel, St Lucia, St Maarten, Aruba, Grenada, Cancun and other countries.  

Jackie was always jovial, literally the life of the party.  She never met a stranger.  She was loyal friend and a great confident, and an effective leader.  She trained herself to find the blessing in every situation.   Jackie knew that someday everything would make sense, but in the meantime she laughed at the confusion, smiled through the tears, always knowing that everything happened for a reason and in God’s timing. 

Left to mourn her is her loving husband Cedric; two sons William Shawn Davis and Marcus Davis; three grandchildren Jacqueline Ann Davis, Arlando Davis, and Jamal Davis; one great grandson Caiden Davis;  Mother Mildred Davis; sister Gwendolyn Warren; Mother-in-law Sybil Millet; nephews, extended family, and friends.
