Gaynell Jackson, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend passed away
peacefully on June 23, 2023, surrounded by family members and her
beloved dog, Bella. She was born on July 14, 1932 in Grand Forks, North
Dakota. She spent her formative years in Marshall County, Minnesota.

In 1977, Gaynell embarked on a new chapter in her life, moving to Lake
Havasu City, where she lived until her passing. She held various retail
positions, notably at the Nautical Resort Golf Course and Bridgewater
Links. She had a gift for remembering names and faces. If you were a
regular golfer, she likely knew you by name.

Outside her professional life, Gaynell cultivated a range of interests
that brought her immense joy. She had a passion for dancing. Golfing had
a special place in her heart, and she relished the opportunity to spend
time on the greens, in the company of friends and fellow golfers. She
also enjoyed the One-Armed Bandits at the casinos. She was an excellent
seamstress and needle crafter.

Gaynell was preceded in death by her loving parents, John and Gerda
Cottrell, her stepmother Ida Cottrell. She is survived by her daughter
Joan Morbeto and husband Tony Morbeto of Lake Havasu City and her son
Robert Jackson and his wife Angela Jackson of Riverdale, Utah. 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. A celebration of Gaynell's life will be scheduled at a later
date.
