Gaynell's presence will be deeply missed by her five grandchildren, Nathaniel Faerber (JJ Liongson), Cassandra Faerber and Riley, Logan and Garrett Jackson as well as her two great-grandchildren Chance and Mieko. Gaynell Joan Jackson will forever be remembered for her unwavering love and the kindness she bestowed upon all who knew her. Though she may be physically absent, her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of her loved ones and the cherished memories they hold dear. In honor of Gaynell's memory, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Mount Olive Lutheran Church or Hospice of Havasu in lieu of flowers.
