Robina L. Jackson Obituary (1930 - 2025)

Robina Lillian Jackson passed away peacefully at the age of 95 on June 12, 2025, at Stillwater Healthcare in Bangor. Born in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, on April 20, 1930, to Leslie and Rose (Larmer) Hall, Robina was a woman of strength, grace, and unwavering dedication to her family. Robina graduated from high school in St. Stephen, NB, and worked as a Telephone Operator in St. Stephen. On January 25, 1952, she married the love of her life, Douglas Burton Jackson. Together, they raised a family, with Robina taking immense pride in being a wife and mother. As her children grew older, Robina channeled her nurturing spirit into working as a teacher’s assistant at the Calais Middle School. Yet, her devotion to service didn’t end in the classroom. Robina was a faithful member of the Calais United Methodist Church, dedicating countless hours to volunteer work, always striving to make a positive impact in her community. Robina's zest for life was infectious, and her love for her family was unparalleled. When her children were young, she relished the activities at their cottage on Boyden’s Lake. As years passed, she enjoyed rounds of golf with her husband Douglas. Her legacy lives on in her devoted son, Robert Jackson, and his wife Tammy of South Burlington, VT; her loving daughters-in-law, Vera Jackson of Jacksonville, FL, and Beth Jackson of Portland, ME; her cherished grandchildren, Megan Jackson-Frye, Evan Jackson, and Miles Jackson; and her adorable great-grandchildren, Myla, Gavin, and Rowan. Robina is also survived by her three dear friends, Debbie Donahue, Carol Hollingdale, and Melissa Sellars, who cared for her in her later years and stood as pillars of strength by her side when she was passing. Preceded in death by her husband Douglas; son, James; her brothers, Earl and Doug; and her sister Ruth, Robina's spirit will continue to live in the hearts of those she touched. In accordance with her wishes, a private burial will take place at Calais Cemetery. Arrangements are being handled by Mays Funeral Home & Cremation Services. Robina's life was a testament to the power of love, resilience, and community. Her memory will forever be a beacon of hope and strength.
