Family and Friends

Jackie lived for people. She kept in constant contact with the many groups she belonged to, for instance classmates of school and college, Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, pupils from her time in India, our Wijngaards Institute team, the Clackson family, the Wijngaards family, the Catholic Women’s Ordination movement and others. These photographs from the last few years just show us a glimpse. John (Hans) Wijngaards
