Jack and Low were married in the Cardston Alberta Temple on September 16, 1948. The Jacks lived in Staten Island, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Mount Edgecumbe, Alaska; Salt Lake City, Utah.

At the April 1987 general conference of the church, Jack was called as the second counselor in the Young Women Organization to president Ardeth G. Kapp. She served in this capacity until the April 1990 general conference, where she was chosen to succeed Barbara W. Winder as the president of the Relief Society, the church's organization for women. Jack served in this capacity until April 1997, when she was released and succeeded by Mary Ellen W. Smoot.

From 1997 to 2000, Jack returned to Cardston as the temple matron of the Cardston Alberta Temple while her husband served as temple president.
