REMEMBERING LESLEY JACKSON

---

Last Post: Saturday 7th February 2026

Following our earlier post, and with the family’s kind permission, Rossendale Players would like to share the funeral arrangements for Lesley Jackson. Lesley will be remembered by so many of us for her warmth, her quick wit, and that wonderful natural comic timing that could raise a laugh with just a look… reminding us that theatre — and life — should never take itself too seriously. Thank you for the love, memories, and laughter shared in her honour. Lesley will be remembered with enormous affection — and with plenty of smiles, exactly as she would have wanted (and no doubt delivered with perfect comic timing). FUNERAL DETAILS - Tuesday 17th February, 10:00am AT All Saints Church, Clayton-le-Moors, BB5 5HT All are warmly invited to join the family afterwards for the wake at Accrington Stanley. Family flowers only, please. Donations, if wished, may be made in Lesley’s memory to Blood Cancer UK.
