Jackie Cornelius White

Jackie Cornelius White grew up in Hopkinsville. She left in 1981 when her job with BellSouth took her to Paducah, then Bowling Green, and finally to Louisville, where she has lived since 1984. Now retired, she keeps busy volunteering. She serve on Transcend Credit Union’s board of directors and on the AARP Kentucky executive council.

In the early 1960s, recalls Jackie Cornelius White, students had the opportunity "to create our own identity as the new elementary school in Hopkinsville."
