Jackie was born on August 23, 1937, in Dubuque, Iowa, daughter of Charles and Gladys (Sawvel) Menadue.
Jackie was a proud life long Dubuquer who attended Prescott and Jefferson schools. She was united in marriage to Donald Fath on October 15, 1954, in Dubuque. They later went their separate ways and she would marry Carl Entringer on August 12, 1976. Sadly Carl passed away on May 27, 2001. A few years later Jackie would find love again with Jack Freiburger, but he would pass away on September 21, 2007, before they had a chance to wed. Jackie was a hard worker. She bartended as several establishments in the tri-state area, and worked at several restaurants. Jackie also volunteered her time at the Dubuque Rescue Mission. She was always willing to help out wherever she could. When she had some free time on her hands Jackie liked to be outside fishing, gathering nuts and hunting for morels. She loved craft projects of any kind and has made several items for family and friends. She also enjoyed curling up with a good book, especially murder mysteries. Spending time with her family was what truly made Jackie the happiest. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved her.
