Anne L. Jackson passed peacefully from this life on April 16, 2008 after a 14 year battle with breast cancer.  Family and friends were at her side throughout her final days.  Born June 12, 1956, she was the daughter of the late Katherine and Stanley Deiter, Sr.  She was married to Bruce Jackson of Lancaster for 12 years.

She is survived by a daughter, Kristi Connelly of Lancaster, and a son, Shannon Connelly and daughter-in-law Erin (Wiley) Connelly of York.  In addition to her children, Anne is survived by her first granddaughter, Talia Connelly of York, and two brothers, Stanley Deiter of Ephrata and Ronald Deiter of Lancaster.

A 1974 graduate of Penn Manor High School, Anne worked for Bank of Lancaster County in the Human Resources Department for 25 years.  Later she was the office manager for Jackson's Window Shoppe, and most recently worked for Town and Country Leasing.

Anne was a loving and supportive mother and grandmother.  Despite her battle with cancer she was a strong and compassionate individual who lived life to the fullest.

She enjoyed boating on the Chesapeake Bay and ski trips with her family and friends. She also vacationed at the beach during the summer, where she liked shopping, and reading with her feet in the sand.  Anne was a proud participant of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
