JACKSON, Lynn M. The world is a sadder place today due to the passing of Lynn M. Jackson, also known as Sparkle the Clown. For over 30 years Sparkle was an entertainer of children and adults alike.

With her musical partner Kenan Sweezy, she performed at The Islands Folk Festival, Folk Life inSeattle, Hillside Mall, Clown Fest at Galey's Farm, and elsewhere. Lynn was born
in 1946, at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables Florida when it was a military
hospital. She grew up in Louisville Kentucky, moved to Canada and met Norman
Jackson in Edmonton. Norm and Lynn have been married for 32 years. For 21 of
those years they owned Selkirk Guest House BB in Victoria, BC. Lynn is
survived by her children Rachel Cooper, and Dave and Douglas Jackson,
heartdaughter Laura; eight grandchildren; mother 88 year old Tilly; brothers
Robb and Charlie; sisters Lisa and Barbara. Lynn had Cancer for 4 years and
