Ina "Kate" Jackson

Ina (Kate) Jackson, 94, of Pleasantville, died peacefully on July 21, 2020 at home with her daughter and son-in-law in Pleasantville. Kate was a life-long member of First English Lutheran Church of Lancaster and was a dedicated and loving wife and mother.

 

During the war years, Kate worked as a secretary at Curtiss-Wright in Columbus and later as a secretary for the County Schools Superintendent. Kate graduated in 1943 from Thurston High School and attended Capital University.

 

Kate was preceded in death by her husband, Howard Jackson; parents, Paul and Dorothy Leitnaker; and brother Lynn Leitnaker.

 

She is survived by her daughter Katrina (Mark) Mollenkopf; sister Dorothy Ann Young (Hal Stufft) of Pennsylvania, sisters-in-law Jean Cates of Punta Gorda, Florida and Margie Leitnaker of Thurston; along with many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Kate’s daughter and son-in-law extend their heartfelt love and gratitude to her amazing caregivers who enriched her life and provided dedicated care over the past 4 years. They will forever be loved and considered family.
