Deputy Anne Jackson

The following is the text of a statement from Skagit County Sheriff’s Deputy Anne Jackson’s family:

“We, the family of Anne Jackson, want to acknowledge and extend our profound gratitude to all those people, relatives, friends, complete strangers, and the law enforcement community, who have come forward to assist and comfort us at this tragic time. 

From the depth of our grief, not only for Anne, but for all the families affected by this horrific event, we also want to say how proud we were, and are, of Anne.  She was committed to her work in the finest sense.  She saw her job as an opportunity to help the people of her community.

She was a cheerful and giving soul, loving and beloved.  We know that she knew and had offered her personal help to the family of the man who committed this terrible act, because she had experienced the pain of a similar mental affliction suffered by her own brother.  The sorrows and tragedies of mental illness affect the health of the whole community. 

We wish to make it clear that we hold no animosity toward Isaac Zamora or his family.

Anne Jackson will be remembered with love and respect by everyone who knew her.”
