Helen Elizabeth Jackson (1932 – 2026)
Helen worked outside the home for a period of time before dedicating her life to caring for her children. She was lovingly known as “The Mother of Markham”. Her door was always open to anyone in need of a place to stay for a hot meal. Helen was famous for her potato salad, a staple at every event and holiday gathering.
