It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Marilyn E. Jackson on Tuesday, March 19, 2024 at Assiniboia Union Hospital. Marilyn was born October 7, 1954 in Unity, Saskatchewan to the late Melvyn and Mary Clarke. Marilyn is lovingly survived by her husband of 50 years, Erwin Jackson of Rockglen and their four daughters, Chelsea (Shawn) Syverson, Kara (Shawn) Raines, Dianna (Dean) Heuchert and Jill (Stephen) Beauchamp; as well as their grandchildren Kyler (Mia) Gill, Jackson (Arleigh) Heuchert, Treyton (Alyssa) Lambert-Gill, Shea Syverson, Benjamin Heuchert, Henri Beauchamp, Jaden Gill, Graysen Heuchert and Genevieve Beauchamp; sisters Linda (Bob) Meredith, Lyda (Randy) Bertrand, Eunice (Ken) Reichstein, Sylvia (Mike) Sander and brothers Orville (Linda) Clarke, Eldon (Leanne) Clarke and Calvin (Donna) Clarke; sisters-in-law Elaine (Mike) Kerr, Judy (Darwin) Krall, and Karen Matthews; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Besides her parents, Marilyn was predeceased by her brother-in-law Wade Jackson, sister-in-law Linda Jackson, parents-in-law Thomas and Mary Jackson as well as nephew Dylan Meredith. Marilyn volunteered with the Rockglen Housing Authority, local elections committee and was previously employed by the Grasslands facility in the kitchen and housekeeping departments. She was appreciated for the delicious meals that she prepared for the residents of the Rolling Hills Lodge. She was also quick to lend a hand with cooking for various community events. As her and Erwin were raising their family, she was active in her daughters’ sports, dance organization, music festivals, girl guides and the many field farm meals. This same devotion to her children continued with her grandchildren. Marilyn enjoyed a competitive game of cards with family members and was quick to correct you if she was suspicious of game misconduct. She loved her needlepoint and was exceedingly generous with her work, crafting up framed pictures, Christmas stockings, water balloons, and dishcloths which are treasured more than she’ll ever know. She also loved spending time camping and exploring the country with her husband and enjoyed numerous trips across Alberta, British Columbia and to Arizona, Hawaii and Florida with family by her side. Upon her request, there will be no visitation or funeral. A Private Family Celebration of Life will take place at a later date. The family wishes to greatly thank everyone for your condolences and warm wishes of comfort, we are blessed to have had the gift of her presence in our lives and will miss her dearly.
