Sydney Lou Jackson, 85, of [Sequim, WA / Cape Coral, FL] passed away on Sunday, December 27, 2020.
Sydney’s love for life and colorful soul always made her the life of the party. Her spark lit up every room. Sydney was an independent, free spirit who loved all people, art, and animals. She navigated life at the beat of her own drum.
From rocking sequins and pink hair, to paving the way for social justice, to traveling the world teaching students in Chula Vista and Cape Verde Africa, Sydney showed us all the importance of individuality and always standing up for what you believe in.
Sydney is reunited in heaven with her husband and the love of her life Jefferson Jackson and with her sons Shawne and Michael.
She is survived by two children, Scott Jackson and Jeffie Lou Jackson Thorn, and five grandchildren, all of whom loved her dearly and miss her immensely.
Though we cannot convene to celebrate her life now, a happier time will come when we can all safely come together.
