Jackie was married for almost 50 years to her husband Joseph N. Blasi who also proceeded her in death.

Jackie loved and cherished her family, and although she had the opportunity for a Broadway career, she often said the most important thing in her life were her children and grandchildren who brought her great joy and happiness.

At the young age of 16, Jackie established a conservatory of music and dance. Jackie went on to dance, create, choreograph, and direct several productions during her lifetime.
