Sarah Jackson dies at 100

Age 100, passed away in Camp Hill Halifax on December 1, 2020. She was born in Truro on December 1, 1920, one of seven children of Lawrence and Elizabeth Mcaloney. She is the last surviving member of that family. Sisters, Anna, Georgia, and Vivian; brothers, Bud, Mervyn and Guy. Sarah grew up and attended Normal college to become a teacher in Truro, but was unable to work in the Nova Scotia schools due to her young age and marital status. She then went to St. Catharines, Ont., to train as a nurse. Upon completion of training she joined the Royal Canadian Army medical corps and went overseas to care for the wounded during The Second World War. Upon returning to Canada she married Earl Jackson and they raised their family in Sydney. Once the family was grown Sarah returned to teaching and taught at South Bar school until her retirement. Sarah was predeceased by her husband, Earl; daughter, Rhonda; and is survived by her son, Arthur (Carol) Grand Desert; grandson, Robert (Cathy) Musquobobit Harbour; granddaughters, Annabelle, Vivian and Victoria; grandson, Brian (Jen) Lower Sackville; granddaughter, Claire; daughter, Susan Conroy ( Neil) Kanata, Ont.; grandson Chad ( Liz) Osgoode, Ont.; great- granddaughter, Quinn; great-grandson, Josh (Camsell) granddaughter, Andrea (Justin Cresser) Kampala, Uganda; great-granddaughters, Maya and Imani. Special thanks to the Bayers Road Baptist church for their warm welcome and continuing inclusion of Sarah in their church community while she lived in Halifax. Also to the staff of Camp Hill 4 west where Sarah lived for her last year. In lieu of flowers donations to Feed Nova Scotia or Souls harbour would be appreciated, they were two of her favourite charities. Due to COVID-19 there will be no service at this time, but a celebration of her life will be held in the future. Burial will be in Sydney when restrictions are lifted so all the family can attend.
