Mary Jackson (Fox), 60, of Willimantic, CT, passed away peacefully on May 1, 2025, after a courageous battle with lung disease.
Mary was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to many. She was married to Howard Jackson for 42 years until his passing on December 1, 2024. Now, Mary and Howie are reunited in peace.
Born to Virginia Pratt Fox and Robert Fox, both of whom predeceased her, Mary is survived by her two loving daughters, Katie and Elizabeth, as well as her four beloved grandchildren, Aaliyah, Richy, Mary, and Catalina, all of Willimantic, CT.
Mary is also survived by her two sisters, Cindy and David Parrott of Central Village, CT, and Patricia and Douglas Schwager of Canterbury, CT, along with her brother, Thomas and Cachi Fox of Hartford, CT, and several nieces and nephews.
Mary retired from Windham Public Schools in 2020 after 26 years in the Food Service Department. She was known for her strong work ethic, kindness, and loving heart. Mary was adored by everyone who knew her. She had a deep love for her dogs, enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, and loved cooking meals for her family and friends.
She will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A service to honor Mary’s life will be held at a later date.
Mary will be missed but not forgotten she will always be in my mind, heart, and memories. I new Mary in 1996- 2009 when I was working at Natchaug, and Windham Middle School and Windham High School. She was a very devoted to her job in the schools cafeterias, she show lots of love, caring to students and staffs. I had the privilege to call her my friend. I'm glad I got to see her before she departed with the Lord. Now she will be in a better place where there is no illness, and suffering. Mary Jackson until we meet again. Love you!😍😘🥰💕
