Bruce I. Jackson

Bruce Irving Jackson, 93, passed away at home on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, with his loving family by his side. Born in Springfield, on October 6, 1931, to the late Ray and Ethelyn (Patterson) Jackson, he was a graduate of A.I.C. and Springfield College and spent his entire career in education. He retired in 2001 from the Town of East Longmeadow’s School System. He had many hobby type interests, but we all loved his gardening, apple cider making from his own orchard, and creating a variety of carvings, which were often gifted to relatives and friends. Bruce and his wife Judith (Miller) Jackson recently shared the 65th Anniversary of their marriage. Besides his wife, he will be missed by his daughters, Valerie Rae Jackson, Jill Jackson Cyr, her husband Brian Cyr, two grandsons, Jacob King and Jared King, his wife Emily, and their daughter Jesse Rae King. There will be a private burial at Hillcrest Park Cemetery and Wilbraham Funeral Home has been entrusted with all arrangements. There will be no formal services at Bruce’s request. He also requested that you think of his life by enjoying nature and loving deeply.
