She was currently serving as president of the Eagle Fork Land Company, her family’s farm corporation.

She served as the Lincoln County Coordinator for Francke for Congress; Lincoln County Citizens for Planning and Zoning in 1980; Lincoln County Memorial Hospital Advisory Board and the United Way Tri-County Auxiliary Board. She was also a member of the First Christian Church of Troy.
She was born July 6, 1934 in St. Charles, Mo., first child and only daughter of Wencker Louis and Mary Margaret ANSLEM MEYER. On February 12, 1970 she was united in marriage to Jack Andrew KINKER of Wentzville.

Those that knew Jackie respected her for her farsightedness and humorous outlook on life’s peaks and valleys. She will be sadly missed, but always pleasantly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
