Beverly Ann Jackson, 82, passed away peacefully at Creekside Care Center on January 2, 2026, surrounded by her family. She was born on February 9, 1943, on the family farm in Grand Rapids, Ohio, the eldest of five children born to Ernest and Pauline (Fischer) Boyle.
Beverly graduated from Grand Rapids High School, class of 1961. She had many fond memories of childhood friends Shirley and Eunice going to Dairy Queen for hot fudge sundaes, which had been a favorite food all her life. Beverly moved with her children to Jerome, Idaho, in 1972 and worked for the Jerome School District for 41 years in the cafeteria and custodial department and helped cook many meals, etc., for the annual Jerome Community Thanksgiving Dinner.
Beverly was a faithful and longtime member of Jerome Bible Baptist Church and spent many years volunteering in the church nursery. She loved being a caring and devoted mother and grandma, doting on her grandchildren every chance she could, which included sports events, music concerts, school activities, and chaperoning on band trips to Disneyland.
Her kindness was felt by anyone lucky enough to cross paths with her.
Beverly leaves behind her beloved children, son, William Jackson; and daughter, Lorie Ray and son-in-law Willie Ray of Jerome; grandchildren, Brevin Jackson of Springfield, Oregon; Shelby Kidd of Twin Falls; and Brooklyn Jackson of Nampa, Idaho; siblings, Marilyn Woolace, Robert and Roger Boyle, all of Weston, Ohio; and Karen Johnson of Fairbanks, Alaska; sister-in-law, Nancy Jackson of Jerome; stepchildren, Mike, Kenny, Becky, and Lisa; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Beverly was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Earl Jackson.
