On Dec. 30, 2017, our dear mom’s body but not her spirit, succumbed to age and illness.
Gail Margaret Jackson Mackey leaves behind her cherished daughters, Leslie Herwick and Stacy Hansen, and wonderful grandchildren, Amanda, Kate, Robert and Alec, and many, many lifelong friends.
She was a 40-year resident of Pacific Palisades but was so proud of a childhood and upbringing in Santa Monica during a time when the town was a quiet, beachside community where everyone knew each other. She was so proud of being a descendant of the Jackson family, a long-time pioneer Santa Monica family.
Mom loved to dance and socialize with her wonderful friends and had many happy times at the local casinos. She was a spirited, feisty, sentimental and generously grand lady.
She is free, at rest and enjoying so much of what she was not able do recently.
