Jackie Harris is Roseanne Connor's sister. While she was in labor, her mother Bev revealed that her name was actually Marjorie, but Roseanne had trouble saying it as a baby, so they just went with the way Roseanne pronounced it, which sounded like my Jackie . Jackie worked as a factory workder, before becoming a fragrance lady and police officer. She then joined Nancy, Roseanne, and Bev in opening the Lanford Lunchbox. Her social life is rather dismal and she often relies on Roseanne for support. Despite her dependency on her, Jackie often resents Roseanne's attempts to control her life.
