Her favorite color was blue.  She was born on August 31st, 1951, to parents Floyd Jackson and Evelyn (Bergum) Jackson and raised on an eighty-acre dairy farm with her three brothers and the help of her grandmother Ida Jackson. She was baptized and confirmed in the Grace Lutheran Church in Darlington. She attended the Mt.

In the early 70’s she traveled to Colorado. In 1973 she was joined in love by her husband Dana. For the next 52 years they lived a simple and free life together, raising their daughters and enjoying their grandchildren. She was a stay-at-home mom, always a country girl at heart.  She loved horses, dogs and animals. She loved country music, dancing, sewing and a good game of euchre. She loved her grandchildren dearly and often ruled with her firm Norwegian beliefs when needed to help guide them between right and wrong. Gone but not forgotten, her spirit lives on.
