JACKSON – Stella (née Gray)

We felt privileged to know Stella, who was a real inspiration with her enthusiasm for life right into her old age. It was particularly impressive to see how she not only loved her movies, but had an unexpected enjoyment of confronting ones that many younger people might have struggled to cope with. And she certainly did a good job of raising our friend Colin, who can turn his hand to just about anything. Well done, Stella!

Our deepest sympathy to all of Stella’s family. Ted and Stella were good friends to us all of those years ago, thinking of you all. Stan and Elizabeth Dunlop.

Although only a short time, it was a pleasure to know Stella. She became a wonderful friend to my mum Rhoda at Dalkeith Gardens. Deepest sympathy to all her family and friends. Love from Lisa and Rhoda.

Very sad day for the Gray family, wonderful memories of visiting Uncle Ted and Aunty Stella on the farm, during trips to Victoria. Aunty had a great sense of humor usually at her own expense.
Last of her brothers & sister, a life well lived.

Dear Grandma,
Thank you for all the laughs and all the chats, the cookies and the yo-yos. Thank you for the letters and sharing the flowers from your garden.

Thank you for saying things as you saw them and sending this trait down the Jackson line.

Thank you for the love and for being my Grandma for so many years. I hope you got your fill of ice-cream before heading on.

Love always

Aunty Stella, you will always be remembered as brother Ivan’s little baby sister. All of Ivan’s children remember fondly your welcoming, caring and loving nature when we use to make the trip down to your farm. Rest in peace beautiful Aunty. Sincere condolences to Colin, Russell and their familes.

We wish our sincerest condolences and our thoughts are with Stella’s family in this difficult time.

Aunty Stella,
Rest in peace, and may God welcome you home.
Condolences to Colin and Russell, their families.
I remember fondly the times spent on holidays around the rolling hill of the farm, chasing piglets or riding the farm bikes. Then during hay season having to drive the bush basher with a spark arrester made of a jam tin over the exposed exhaust pipe.
Love Chris

I am sad to learn of Stella’s passing. We often chatted when l visited my mother at Dalkeith. I always loved to see her smile and appreciated her happy disposition. My condolences to your family.
