She was a life-long resident of Lake Charles.  She was a member of Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church where she was an active Eucharistic Minister and Lector.  Jackie was a proud 1965 graduate of Lake Charles High school where she served as a Kiltie Colonel and attended McNeese State University where she was a McNeese Cheerleader.  After McNeese, she worked for Sheriff Ham Reid where she met the love of her life Max McCain Morris, Sr.  They were happily married until the time of his death.

Jackie is survived by her son, Max McCain Morris, Jr. and wife Laurie, daughters, Leslie Morris Brown and husband Woody and Rebecca Morris Daigle and husband Rodd; and her 17 grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Wilda and Alfred Porter; her husband, Max Morris, Sr.; sister, Jeanine Porter Pryor; and her daughter, Jeannine Morris LeJeune.
