Mrs. Ackard

Mrs. Ackard is Sean's mother, a local church lady (the minister's wife), and a total gossip.

Strangely, Mrs. Ackard is referred to as such by Veronica Hastings and her family, rather than as Doctor Ackard, despite Mrs. Ackard being a dentist.

Dr./Mrs Ackard is first brought up by Tom Marin after Hanna crashes Sean's car. To make up for the damages and sort things out amongst themselves sans the insurance company, Hanna works in Dr. Ackard's dental practice as an office assistant; Hanna is mainly in charge of handling the young children who visit the office.

Mrs. Ackard is first seen at the Rosewood Founder's Festival, where she chats with the Hastings family, including Ian. As Mrs. Ackard is very involved in the Rosewood community, Veronica thinks it best for Spencer to make a good impression on her and repair her image, which she has damaged by becoming a person of interest. Mrs. Ackard is clearly very judgmental and makes an accusing comment related to Spencer's role in the police investigation.

While talking to Melissa about an upcoming trip to Hilton Resorts in South Carolina, Spencer revels in the opportunity to cast the attention off herself and mention that Ian stayed there. Melissa then flubs hers and Ian's story while trying to cover for the fact that she and Ian stayed in separate rooms; flustered, she chocks it up to forgetfulness.
