Barbara Jo Jackson, 53, was born on July 27, 1967 in Seattle, Washington, and passed away on Dec. 9, 2020 at Blossom Valley in Wenatchee, Washington, where she had lived since 2018.
Barbara attended schools in Manson, Washington and Seattle, where she graduated from Foster High School.
After doing low paying jobs, she spent one summer on a fishing boat in Alaska, which she hated. She decided to further her education at Highline Community College, in Midway, Washington, where she received her AA.
She worked at Catholic Printing for several years before working for a temp service until going to work for the Seattle Police Department for 11 years as a Data Tech. She loved her job at the police department. Barbara had returned to school and attended Bryman in Burien, Washington before being hired at the Seattle Police Department.
