It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of Jackie Aitkens, beloved wife of Bob Aitkens. Jackie was more than just a cherished member of her family—she was the heart and soul of it. Her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering love will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing her.
Jackie was a devoted mother, whose children always knew they could turn to her for strength, comfort, and unconditional love. She was a loving wife, sharing a lifetime of memories, laughter, and quiet moments with Bob—a partnership built on deep respect and affection. She was an adoring grandmother, bringing joy and magic into the lives of her grandchildren, who adored her in return. And she was a supportive mother-in-law, always ready with a kind word, a warm hug, or a helping hand.
To know Jackie was to know true grace. She had a way of making everyone feel welcomed and valued, whether you were family, a friend, or simply someone lucky enough to cross her path. Her presence was a gift—a calming force, a voice of reason, and a source of endless love. She was generous with her time, thoughtful in her actions, and selfless in the way she gave of herself to those she loved.
Her passing leaves a deep ache in the hearts of all who knew her. Yet even as we grieve, we are filled with gratitude for the years we shared with her. The lessons she taught, the love she gave, and the memories she helped create will live on through every person she touched.
We send our heartfelt thoughts, love, support, and condolences to Bob and the entire Aitkens family during this incredibly difficult time. May you find comfort in one another, and in knowing that Jackie’s spirit continues to surround you, as strong and beautiful as ever.
Details about Jackie’s funeral will be shared as soon as they are available, for those who wish to come together and celebrate her life.
Rest peacefully, Jackie. You were deeply loved, and you will be forever missed.
