Obituary for Janet Gail Jackson

Janet Gail  Jackson
Janet G.Jackson
June 4, 1935- June 30, 2017

Janet was born June 4, 1935 in Shelton WA. to Bernice and Vera (Gendron) Yenter. Her family later moved to Sedro Woolley where she graduated from Burlington Edison High school in 1953.

Janet met the love of her life, Morris K. (Jack) Jackson and they were wed on May 24, 1958. They were stationed at NAS Whidbey in 1966 where they chose to stay and make their home. They had been married 27 years when Jack passed away in 1986.

Janet was an avid sports fan, and her friends knew not to call during a Seahawks game or they would get seriously reprimanded for interrupting the game!

Janet lived on Whidbey Island for 52 years. She had many friends who will all miss her and her wonderful sense of humor. She was an auxiliary member of the CPO, VFW and American Legion.

Janet is survived by her four children, Julia Wiggins, Oak Harbor, Mike Jackson, Anacortes, David and Whitney Jackson Oak Harbor, Kelly Troup Oak Harbor, and sister, Ida Corbell of Anacortes, Also surviving are seven grandchildren and five great grandchildren who all brought her great joy! She was preceded in death by her husband Jack and brother Dale Yenter of Redmond, WA.

We will all miss the great Christmases, parties, and BBQ’s that she put on, and she will live in our hearts forever.

In order to honor her wishes there will be a graveside service at 1:00 pm Monday July 10, 2017 at Maple Leaf Cemetery where she will be laid to rest next to her beloved Jack. A celebration of life will follow at the American Legion Post 129 in Oak Harbor Washington.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home.
