Jacqueline is the wife of Mark Pearson of Abington, Pennsylvania and the daughter of Leroy Burger and Lydia Kress Burger of Glenside, Pennsylvania.

After high school she attended Bloomsburg State College and graduated with a BS in education. She taught 1st and 2nd grade for 12 years while living on a farm in Collegeville Pennsylvania where she raised and boarded horses.
