Jackie was my CSR for 9years I worked at HST. She was great at her job. One of the best I have ever worked with. She and I worked very close together and I loved her spirit of fun and professionalism. One of the bright spots of my day seeing her and her welcoming smile for me each day as I came to work. She will be missed. Life well done Jackie!!
In my thoughts and prayers. Jackie was a wonderful person.Anita
A Memorial Tree was planted in memory of Jackie Ann GoodenNana….I called her “Nanny” for at least 6 months, and she never corrected me. One day, she said, “It’s NANA!” She giggled. I apologized. I told her that is what I called my late Mother-in-law…she said: “Oh! OK. But they call me Nana”. I will miss her spunk, humor and most of all, our talks on the patio at Plantation Pub. Fly high angel! Hugs! Dena and Michael Tollison.
The love you she gave will never be forgotten. She was always kind and left of us with many good memories. We Are thinking of all of you with love

A Memorial Tree was planted in memory of Jackie Ann GoodenWhen my husband and I moved to Nashville in the 70’s, we lived in the Bellevue area and I worked with Jackie in the HR Dept at Service Merchandise. She was so good at her job, very funny and always a joy to be around. That smile of hers!! So mischievous at times She always kept me laughing! I never knew what she was going to do or say. We went to a Prince concert one time and had an absolute blast!! Such good memories I have of her. I have missed her for so long and so sorry to hear of her passing. To her sweet family, (she loved all of you), I’m sorry for your loss. RIP Jackie! I know you are singing and dancing still..❤️
