Mrs. Smith was a graduate of Reading Senior High the class of 1951. Before moving to Alabama and becoming a full time homemaker, parent, and co-owner in both Coosa Cable Company and Cable Vision Services, Inc., Jacqueline (or Jackie as she was known) was a former pediatric nurse with a specialty in burn victim trauma in her native Pennsylvania.

She took a particular interest in serving members of the US Armed Services and supporting our veteran troops. Her community service work included membership in local civic organizations such as the Pell City Garden Club and the Pell City Jaycees. Her passions and her philanthropy were concentrated primarily in the areas of animal health and welfare, hunger and poverty, emergency disaster relief, ecology, wildlife rescue, nature preservation and conservation, the Special Olympics, and various local arts, theatre, and library programs.
