EVERETT — Helen Jackson, widow of the late Sen. Henry M. Jackson and for years a gracious and tireless contributor to local civic life and philanthropic causes, died Saturday evening after a long struggle with Alzheimer's disease. She was 84.
She was born in New Mexico, went to college in New York and California, and worked and met her husband in Washington, D.C. But it was Sen. "Scoop" Jackson's native Everett that became her home.
She is survived by her daughter, Anna Marie Laurence, and her son, Peter Jackson, both of Seattle. Peter Jackson is a former editorial page editor of The Daily Herald. She also is survived by two grandchildren, Jack and Julia.
