Jackie was an Anglophile, and a member of the Palm Beach chapter of the English Speaking Union. After retiring from MIT, Jackie left Belmont, MA and moved to Palm Beach and also New London, NH, where she spent many happy years being a Florida snowbird, who returned to her beautiful New England in the summer months.

Jackie will be sorely missed by her daughter, Carolyn Buck Harrison (Stephen) and her son, Douglas John Buck (Bobbie Lindsay), her sister Gwendolyn Wray Ferrini, granddaughter Sarah Pennington Hearn and her grandsons, Maxwell Buck Harrison and John Lindsay Buck.
