Jackie Freeman

Jackie is a woman who loves words. Words that inform. Words that inspire. Speaking, singing, reading, and writing words. And she loves to make a joyful noise to her beloved Lord and Savior.

Her love of words blossomed as a child when her grandmother, Nettie Thomas, introduced her to literature. Her home had a marvelous collection of books, from Louisa Mae Alcott to Margaret Mitchell, Zane Grey, and Mary Jane Holmes. Jackie’s passion for reading and writing started with her grandmother’s bookcase. Years later, she joined writers’ groups to hone her skills.

A Siena Heights University graduate, Jackie specialized in early childhood education. While serving as an adjunct at her alma mater, she also became an assistant principal of a Montessori school, and later served as the Early On Coordinator for Saline Area (MI) Schools. She left that position to become a full-time caregiver, first for her husband and then for her parents. She and her husband raised their three sons on a sixty-acre farm in southeast Michigan. She is a doting grandmother who loves pickleball and co-authored her first children’s book, BEND YOUR KNEES, LOUISE!  a Pickleball Primer. She is a gifted vocalist and loves singing, whether in a church, an auditorium, beside the sickbed of loved ones, or outdoors in nature.
