The simplest match-up seems to be by taking the names in order in each
case:

(names given)  (names in order      (names in order     (cities given)
                mentioned in         mentioned in
                roommate list)       city list)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ann            Ann                      Ms. Thomas  in  Des Moines, Iowa
                &
Susan          Ms. Davis                Susan       in  Miami, Florida

Cindy          Cindy                    Ms. Kerr    in  Gary, Indiana
                &
Pat            Ms. Jones                Pat         in  Cleveland, Ohio

Jackie         Ms. Walters              "other"     in  San Francisco
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, this is done by just taking the names in the order they were given
in the three paragraphs.

Ann Thomas, Des Moines
Susan Davis, Miami
Cindy Kerr, Gary
Pat Jones, Cleveland
Jackie Walters, San Francisco
