Jackie, more affectionately known as "Red" by her husband of 32 years, NIck, was born in Coushatta, Louisiana on November 4, 1942.  For the past 16 years, she has been a resident of Whitehouse, Texas.  Jackie was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend.  She was a special woman that educated herself and worked hard to become the first woman to become a hotel manager for United Inns in Houston, Texas.  Later in life she worked for Walmart, in the cash office, where she eventually retired.  Jackie loved music of all kinds, especially Cajun music.  She loved working in her garden, visiting new places, and chatting over coffee with good friends and family.  Nothing was more important than spending time with those she loved.  Her children were her pride and joy.  She was especially proud of them for becoming such responsible and respectful adults.  She loved her church family where she spent time helping others with her Sisters of Hope at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church.  Jackie will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Those left to cherish Jackie's memory include her son, Calvin Westmoreland of Bullard, TX; daughter, Brenda Doran of Whitehouse, TX; son, Eric LaFleur of Fayetteville, TN; one sister, Debbie Tarver and two brothers, Marvin and Nicky Boothe, all of Shepherd, TX; grandsons, Ryan Linn, Jax and Jalen Wilburn; granddaughter, Briana Kesler, and great granddaughter, Bailey Dean.
