Tasmania Police charged a 38-year-old man from Campania with her murder on Tuesday night.
"Police will allege the man was known to the 37-year-old woman who died from serious injuries after being struck by a car on a property," they said in a statement.
Jacqui was a mother to four children, including a 20-year-old daughter and three young sons.
