VALERIE JACKETT


Valerie Jackett was born in Winnipeg on October 6, 1957, to parents Clarence and Alice Jackett, at Gimli Hospital, Valerie passed away from cancer, with family by her side, at 11:16 p.m. on April 10, 2024. Valerie was incredibly close to her family and tried her best to always support anyone in need.

Valerie was predeceased by both her parents and is survived by sisters: Lorraine Janis (Mickey) in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; Carla Wilson (Reg) in Arnes, Manitoba, and brother Wayne (Sjana) in Portage La Prairie. Also left to mourn are Val’s nephews: Michael Janis (Barb), Paul Janis (Karen), Terrence Janis (Becky), and Thomas Janis (Miki), as well as several cousins and families.

Valerie’s true passion in life was the love of her kittens - her kittens wanted for nothing with Valerie by their side and they provided a joy and a smile each day to Val.

Following her father’s passing, Valerie has lived with her sister Carla and Reg in Arnes for 15 years where she tended to household duties and lived a simple but happy life by the Lake. The past three plus years, Valerie enjoyed independent living at the Icelandic River Lodge in Riverton where she made many friends and socialized with the tenants of the lodge. To these friends, Valerie will be sorely missed.

No service will be held as Valerie had requested a private ash placement at her parent’s gravesite in Gimli cemetery.
