After graduating Newburgh Free Academy in 1947, Jinx went on to have a full and successful life. Her business, civic and service accomplishments were many.

Jinx was a treasurer of the Town of Newburgh Democratic Party and was the Democratic nomination for the 96 Assembly Districts of Orange, Dutchess and Rockland Counties. She was member of Zonta International of the Greater Newburgh area, empowering women through service and advocacy. Through her work as a den mother for the Cub Scouts of America and as a church school teacher for St. Patrick's and Our Lady of the Lake Churches, Jinx taught the importance of moral and spiritual values to many of the area's children. She also worked with the Make a Wish Foundation. If you were ask Jinx what her most important accomplishment was, she would tell you that it was her family.
