Their family grew to four children: Mark (Susan) Mulligan of Elmore, Ohio; Jan Mulligan (Charles) Avery of Raleigh, North Carolina; Michael (Anne) Mulligan of Fremont, Ohio; and Kelly (Andrea) Mulligan of Aurora, Ohio. Jackie's life was centered around her family, her beloved "Stone House", and St Boniface Catholic Church. She was a member and past president of the Epsilon-Eta Chapter of the Sigma Alpha national philanthropic sorority, a volunteer for the American Heart Association and Meals on Wheels, a member of the Port Clinton Yacht Club, and a member of the Elks Lodge in Port Clinton, Ohio. Jackie enjoyed an active life of entertaining family and friends, boating on Lake Erie, snow skiing, travel, and round and square dancing. She was talented in sewing and needlepoint.
