Jackie did a lot of charity work, she had a keen fashion sense and was a style icon for young women across the USA, and she was very loyal and dedicated to her family.
She also showed a keen interest in the historic preservation of the White House.
After JFK was assassinated, Jackie withdrew from the public eye and shielded her children from the media.
