Katharine Jackson Obituary

Born in Colorado Springs to Elmer and Maureen (McCann) Jackson on December 16, 1987. Katie left us on April 22, 2016 after battling rare cancer.

Katie graduated from Wasson High, loved singing, dancing, classic cars and her "baby" Cherry. She was a force of Nature; a sassy spitfire.

Survived by her parents; sister Rachel (Andy), nieces Lily and Aubrey; Grandma Alyce; Grandpa Jim (MaryJo); Uncle Darren; Aunt Nancy (Shawn) Fuller; Susan (Terry) Sawyer.

Preceded in death by special Grandpa Dale McCann and Grandma Flo Hopkins.

Donations to TESSA, Humane Society or St.Judes, in Katie's name, are appreciated.

I think of you daily. I know you are here with us. Your loss cuts deep and I still can't make sense of it but I know you are watching over us, poking fun and making jokes in good fun. My love for you will never end. Rest in peace my sweet Chi. Some sweet day we shall meet again.
