Dorothy Mae Jackson, age 82 of Clifton, CO, died Saturday, October 1, 2016 in Payson, Utah while visiting her niece Cheryl Boren and family.

Born March 16, 1934 in Anadarko, Oklahoma, she was the daughter of the late George and Annie Abney Madaris.  Following graduation, Dorothy trained to be a Nurses Aide and worked in the health care field for many years.

Dorothy loved helping people and received great joy from volunteering at thrift shops in both Clifton and Palisade.
