Raines was nominated by several Light of Hearts employees, including Dennis Koher, LPN, assistant director of wellness, Barbara Devereux, RN, director of wellness and Betty Hickle, executive director.

“Jackie has been with Light of Hearts Villa for more than three years and she embodies the mission of the Villa by providing premier caring services to our residents and their families,” said Hickle. “Jackie is always willing to go the extra step to provide comfort. She is the smile the residents look for and she is the shoulder that they lean on.”  

Raines’ motto is: “I am someone who listens, we cry together, we pray together, I am whatever they need. The Villa is a second home.”
