Jaci was born in Portsmouth, Ohio to Hugh and Mary Ann (McCulley) Allen. She attended Marietta College in Ohio and then transferred to West Virginia University, where she met her husband, John. Jaci was fiercely independent and espoused a bold and spirited personality, which was often apparent in her stylishly bright and sparkly, but classy attire. She always had a full social calendar between her many activities and spending time with her friends and loved ones. Jaci was a vibrant person with a passion for Arabian horses, having raised many on the family farm and traveled around the country to participate in horse shows. She was a terrific dancer of jitter bug, fox trot and waltz with her husband with whom she shared a passion for music. She loved the hot weather, vacationing at the beach and visiting Arizona. Jaci also enjoyed participating in the car business as she had an opportunity to select and drive different cars with her favorites being the Purple Barracuda and the teal Plymouth Satellite with a flowered vinyl roof.

In addition, Jaci was dedicated to bettering her local community through her participation as a member of the Board of Directors of the Salem County Veterans Administration, volunteer and supporter at Ranch Hope, volunteer leader in the Salem County Fair Association where she organized the Opening Exercises for nearly 20 years and helped in the food booth. She was also a member of the Salem Marketing and Promotion Committee of the Salem Main Street Project, volunteer in organizing the Salem Community College Foundation Gala, member of the Salem City Walking Ghost Tour Planning Committee, and member of the Salem City Yuletide Tour of Historic Homes Planning Committee. Jaci received commendations for her dedication and involvement in Salem County including the Woman of Achievement Award given by the Salem County Commission on Women in 2017 and the prestigious Crystal Rose Award from the Salem County Chamber of Commerce in 2016.
