Rosalind Gill Jackson
Obituary
It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our dear mother, Rosalind Gill Jackson of Seaside, Calif.
Rosalind was born and raised in King City, Calif. Nature and animals were her big loves as she grew up on Central Avenue where her family farmed on the Salinas Land Company. She was active in 4-H as a young girl and was awarded the grand champion pig at the Salinas Valley Fair. She enjoyed all of Monterey County from the Valley to the ocean.
Her love of the ocean and nature greatly influenced Rosalind's choice to raise her family in Seaside. It was in Seaside that she was able to expand her creative interests in art and gardening.
After raising three children, Rosalind received her Bachelor's Degree in Collaborative Health and Human Services from CSU Monterey Bay. She worked as a social worker in assisted living where her people skills and deep empathy made her a strong patient care advocate. Rosalind carried that talent into her own personal life by helping care for her parents in their final years.
Her favorite role was when she became a grandma in 2020, affectionately known as "Grams" to Ava and James.
Her friends and family will always remember Rosalind as a truly compassionate friend who would do anything for those that she loved. She loved to have fun and live life to its fullest, providing many memories for all that knew her. She loved music and enjoying life with those around her.
Rosalind was preceded in death by her parents, Allen and Patricia Gill, of King City. She is survived by her three children - daughter, Andrea Ferrara (Jeff) and their two children Ava Marie and James Mathew; her son, Adam Jackson; and her daughter, Carly LaFontaine.
The family will honor Rosalind at a Celebration of Life planned for a later date.
