Albert Jackson

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Albert Jackson on October 4, 2025 at the age of 87.  

Albert is predeceased by his parents Anne and Raoul, his sister Rita (2023), his brother Lionel (2025), his sister-in-law Pat (2023) and infant brother Terrence (1950).  

He leaves to mourn his passing and cherish many fond memories; his siblings Lawrence (Pat), Louise, Gloria, and Jeanette (Fred Haun).  Albert will be missed by many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and extended family members. 

Albert was born on September 25, 1938, the second born in a family of 8.  After finishing school, he went working on construction for 4 years.  However, coming from a farming background, Albert was always interested in grain buying.  In 1963, he joined the Federal Grain Company for about a year and then to Glen Ewen, SK for a couple of weeks as a helper.  Albert moved to Laurier and resided there for a year, and then returned to Saskatchewan as a helper at Milden.  

In January 1966, Albert got his own elevator in Amaranth, MB and for the next 18 1/2 years he took a small elevator handling 100K - 150K bushels into handling 600K bushels of grain per year.  A great accomplishment.  With the departure of the rail line in Amaranth, the elevator was forced to close.  |In August of 1984, Albert left Amaranth to work for Dauphin Pool Elevators as a helper.  Albert ended his career in Makinak as manager and retired in 1995.  In retirement, he continued to farm with his siblings until he fell ill at age 86.  

Funeral Mass for Albert was held on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 1:00 pm from Our Lady of the Nativity Roman Catholic Church, McCreary, MB.  Fr. James Ahaneku celebrated the mass and interment followed in the McCreary Catholic Cemetery.
