Julett Fackrell Jackson, 85 of Pingree, Idaho passed away Friday November 27, 2020 in Blackfoot, Idaho. LaMar was by her side holding her hand as he had done for the last 66 years of their marriage.

Julett was born in Shelly, Idaho on August 18,1935 to Heber and Bessie Oler Fackrell. She had one older sister JoAnne and three younger siblings David, Iris and Deanna. Julett has lived in the Pingree/ Thomas area most of her lifetime. She attended Rockford Elementary School and graduated from Snake River High School.

In high school Julett was active in girls basketball and was part of the twirling team. On November 19,1954 she married her high school sweetheart, LaMar Jackson in the Idaho Falls Temple.

LaMar and Julett made their home in Pingree, Idaho where LaMar rented a small farm near the Snake River. Julett was always eager to help on the farm whether it was milking cows or in the field.

Julett raised a family of 5 boys and 2 girls and fostered several other children into their home.She was an excellent homemaker and kept a very tidy house. She loved cooking for her family and friends and made sure no one ever went hungry! Everyone loved her homemade meals and especially her bread. Julett made 12 loaves of bread at a time so she could share it with neighbors, family and friends.

Julett was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in various church capacities throughout her life including Relief Society President, Visiting teacher, Young Women's and Primary. She was also an ordinance worker at the Idaho Falls Temple for 6 years. LaMar and Julett served an LDS mission in Tonga from 2002-2004, where she served as a teacher to the children of Tonga. Julett was a bus driver for the Snake River School District for 25 years and drove the bus in snow, sleet or hail! Anyone who rode her bus could feel of her love and kindness.

Some words that come to mind when describing Julett are selflessness, unconditional love and her christlike attitude. If you met her once, you felt like you were lifetime friends. Being together with family made her the happiest. She will be greatly missed by many.

Julett is survived by her husband LaMar Jackson; her children, Jerry (Sheila) of Pingree, ID, Eric (Kelli) of Blackfoot, ID, Darin (Mona) of Bozeman, MT, Julie (Bruce) of Moreland, ID, Shane of Columbiana, Ohio, Christine (David) of Tucson, AZ; siblings, David Fackrell, Iris Overfield, Deanna Parmer; daughter-in-law, Julie Thornton of Kuna, ID; 20 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Heber and Bessie Fackrell; son, Stacy Jackson; and sister, JoAnne Van Orden.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Friday, December 4, 2020 at Hawker Funeral Home. Family will meet with friends from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Thursday, December 3, 2020 at Hawker Funeral Home and for one hour prior to the service.

LaMar, My wife LaRae and I and all my brothers and sisters and their many, many children, grandchildren, great grandchildren have always admired the two of you and your remarkable family and have been thankful that we all climbed the family tree with you in the Walters family as your mother Geneive and my dad Les Longmore were 1st cousins and you were our 2nd cousin. I have great memories of the very many years of picking and bucking spuds with you LaMar, and finding ways to get in a baseball game here and there. I always pictured you as a big league baseball pitcher as you mowed down our Blackfoot team and even the mighty Pocatello team. They won the district championship every year for about 10 years except the one year you humbled them with your Snake River team. Julett is having a great reunion with loved ones beyond the veil and is working in your behalf along with your precious Bishop Stacey Jackson as ministering angels. Stacey was such a loving bishop to many of our family members. God bless all of you. All our love, Gary and LaRae Longmore and family

So many memories come to mind when thinking about Julett and Lamar. It seems like you always saw them together and were always greeted with a smile and a kind word. What a lovely couple they were. Lamar and the Jackson family have been entertaining the community with their many talents for years, whether with their beautiful singing voices or playing various instruments. It was always a joy to listen to them perform. This lovely lady will be missed.

I have such fond memories of Julett. As the mother of one of my dear childhood friends, she always made me feel like I was special. She was so kind and loving to everyone, very soft spoken with only kind things to say. My heart goes out to LaMar and all their children and family, especially Julie, who is so like her mother. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that you will be together again after a time. Love you all!

Lamarr, I have been thinking of you. I an sorry Tamara and I could not go in to the funeral but we watched it and it, was beautiful. I know she was very happy with everything. She loved to listen to you and Stacy play and those songs were tearful to listen to. You are so blessed and I want you to know that I love you. You and My left have been a blessing in my life. I loved being your home teacher for so many years and loved to be in your home. With this pandemic Tamara and I have been staying away from people with Tamara not having an immune system. I hope you were ok with that. Thanks to you and your lovely wife for being such good friends to us. May the Lord bless you.

Dearly loved LaMar & all the families dear to so many, We are so very sorry for the great loss of your extra sweet Wife, Mother, Grandma & Grandma Great! She was of course one of my favorite Aunts & loved on as well as one that always showed everyone her unconditional love! From family members to anyone she just met, she always had only kind words, a meal or a fresh loaf of homemade bread, she really knew how to make those around her feel that they were important & loved! What a great example she always was to so many including myself! So many wonderful memories left to help us all get through this difficult time! From the very beginning of my life, I knew I was loved & lucky to have the whole Jackson family as part of my family! She always welcomed so many into their home & fed everyone well or sent off with her delicious homemade bread or both with her wonderful giving soul & with a big smile! She never complained no matter what was happening! A wonderful Wife, Mother, Grandma, Great Grandma, friend! She taught everyone to try to be a better person just by being herself! Indeed she lived a Christlike life, and she didn’t even have to try! That was just one of the great things about Julett! We will all miss her so very much! Yet the great memories will never go away! Please know we send our love & prayers to the whole family! I’m so grateful she suffers no more & has her clear mind back in the hereafter! So many were there to greet her including her Sister (my dear Mother) they’re all having a wonderful reunion beyond the veil! What a wonderful reunion it must be! For those left behind, please know we send all our love & prayers to the whole family! May the great memories help you all & give you comfort! She will be missed by so many! We are all better just simply because she was in our lives!
Love you all forever & always,
Michelle (Shelley as she always called me) & my Husband Tim Williams

It has been many years since we last visited, but cherish many summer visits as young boy to the Jackson farm, we were fortunate to take our boys down to visit Lamar and Julett and the rest of the family. Julett was warm and very welcoming of everybody into her home, you did not leave Hungary that's for sure. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family through this hard time.

LaMar and family of Julett Jackson, we grieve with you over the passing of Julett Jackson. She was truly an angel on this side of the veil, and that role will only be accentuated on the other side. All the Pat and Faye Fielding family, of which I am a son, left the Thomas area and moved to Washington in the 70’s. We have so missed fraternizing with all the Jacksons. But we have not forgotten you. We remember with fondness the warmth and love of Julett. She has spread cheer, laughter, kindness, acceptance, and love everywhere she goes. Today she is doing the same thing in t he paradise of heaven as she reunites with departed family members and friends. I can only imagine the sweet reunion with her dearly beloved son Stacy who left so much sadness in all our hearts with his untimely and tragic departure. Her lot now is to embrace and bring succor and love to those very much alive on the other side of the mortal veil. Our sadness today is their supreme joy. To LaMar especially, we express our sorrow over this painful mortal separation from your eternal companion—but, as you know, it is only temporary.

LaMar, you have attended to our family’s need for spiritual solace in several family funerals, as I recall, at Grandpa Daniel Jackson, Uncle Bob Jackson, and then my own mother Faye Fielding, and probably many others, as you and Stacy played beautiful and soothing favorite melodies on the harmonica at each funeral, even driving all the way to Pasco, Washington to play at mother’s. Truly each performance warmed our hearts in a way we will never forget. I only wish there was some way we could reciprocate our love and appreciation for your loving ways and talents. It is my prayer that your knowledge of and faithful lifetime adherence to The Plan of Happiness will bring the sweet and consoling peace of knowing this unwelcomed separation is for a short time only.

Some of my favorite memories of my neighbor were of Julett, Grandma Wilma and Darlene Jackson riding their bikes and just having a wonderful time. Being blessed by her Homemade Bread and Potato Pancakes, which I have never been able to duplicate, hers were the best and riding the school bus she drove. I never remember a cross word spoken from her and she treated me as one of her own. Love and miss her.

To LaMar and family. We grieve with you over the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. The Pat Fielding family, of which I am a son, moved away from the Thomas area and moved to Washington in the 70’s. We have missed fraternizing with all the Jacksons. But we haven’t forgotten what a sweet soul Julett Jackson is. LaMar, I have great admiration for you. I will vividly remember always that you and Stacy, bless his soul, played harmonicas in each of our family funerals; Daniel, my grandfather, Uncle Bob, and my dear Mother Faye, and perhaps others, driving all the way to Pasco to do so on mother’s case. I would wish I could do something to ease your grief and pain and bring the warmth of familial love and friendship to you at this moment of loneliness and great sorrow as you endure a short mortal separation from your dear eternal companion. Just as she brought smiles, laughter and warmth and succor to the lives of many here in this life, she is now reunited with recently departed family members succoring and strengthening them as she embraces them with her love. Stacy must be particularly happy to see his mother again. God bless you with the peace that comes with the knowledge of the eternal nature of families and the consoling spirit of the Holy Ghost that reassures that “All is well.” I love you and Julett and pray that these days might be days of sweet remembering and the joyful reunion of family members.

To Lamar especially, and to your sons and daughters and other family members: All of the Pat Fielding family moved away from Thomas in the 70s. We are sadly missed maintaining a relationship with each of you and this is made poignantly obvious with the sad passing of Julett. But that does not wipe away our memory of what a sweet person she is. LaMar, you and Stacy, have participated in all of the funerals for our family (Bob, Grandpa Daniel and Mother) with the music of your harmonicas. You have notched out a big chunk of my heart and I grieve for your loss today. I wish I had some way to return the favor. Please know that I love you and pray for you to find the consoling and soothing peace of the Spirit with this latest loss, though merely temporary, of your dear sweetheart and eternal companion. She will be in heaven to succor those those dearly departed members of your family there as she has had a loving and succoring influence upon so many in this life. God bless you!
