Our beloved Frances Jane Jackson
June 17, 1928 – February 1, 2026
Frances lived a long and beautiful life, reaching 97 years with remarkable strength, resilience and spirit. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, who will carry her legacy of kindness, resilience, and love in their hearts forever.
Frances was a devoted wife to her husband, Edward, with whom she shared a beautiful partnership that lasted 43 years. Together, they created a warm and loving home.
She was the proud mother of four children, and a cherished Grandmother to eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense joy and pride.
She is survived by her daughters Elaine Halloran (Dennis), Linda Costa (Richard), and Barbara Pilcher, and her sister Johanna Klein. She now joins her son, Edward Jackson(Linda), in heaven.
Frances lived a long and happy life, touching the hearts of everyone she met. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers the family encourages donations in Frances's memory, to Good Shepherd Hospice or St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
