Obituary of Edith Grace Midbo

In Loving Memory of Edith Grace (Jackson) Midbo

March 14, 1935 – November 11, 2025

Born in Grande Prairie, Edith was the beloved daughter of John and Geraldine Jackson. After attending Clairmont School and Grande Prairie High, she earned her Bachelor of Education from the University of Alberta, majoring in Mathematics.

Edith began her teaching career at Hermit Lake School and later devoted 29 years to Daysland School, where she inspired generations of students. In 1961, she married Harold Midbo, and together they raised two children, Carolyn and Thomas. Her faith was central to her life, and she faithfully served in the Daysland Alliance Church through Sunday School, VBS, and drama ministry.

She treasured family above all, finding her greatest joy in her children, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter. After Harold’s passing, Edith continued to live fully—traveling, volunteering, golfing, walking, and sharing her love of games and learning with friends.

Edith’s life reflected grace, gratitude, and faith. She often said the Lord guided her every step, and she remained thankful for His blessings, her loving family, and the community she cherished.

Edith passed away peacefully at the Daysland Hospital at the age of 90. Edith is survived by her daughter, Carolyn, her son, Thomas (Tanja), grand daughter Courtney (Silvan), and great grand daughter, Callie.

Funeral Service for Edith will be held at the Daysland Alliance Church, Friday, November 21, 2025 at 1:00 p.m.  Please join the family for a time of fellowship and refreshments immediately following the service.

Memorial donations in memory of Edith can be made to the Daysland Hospital Foundation or a Charity of Donor's choice.
