Juckett, Marion
Marion V. (Jacobson) Juckett, 88, of South Easton, MA, passed away on March 15, 2017 after a lengthy illness. She spent the last weeks of her life surrounded by family and loving care in her daughter’s home.
Marion was born in Arlington, MA, to the late Melker and Maria Jacobson, who emigrated from Sweden and instilled a love of the Swedish culture in their family. Marion and her late husband, Wayne, were high school sweethearts, and married in 1949; they raised their children in Dedham, and later moved to Easton. They enjoyed “island life” on Lake Winnipesauke, especially watching their children, grandchildren, and all their friends spend time together and enjoy the beauty of the lake.
Those who knew her commented on both her natural beauty and her generous and welcoming nature. She most enjoyed being surrounded by all of her family and is remembered by everyone for her Christmas dinner celebration.
Marion and Wayne started a business in 1969 and Marion worked full time until she was 85 years old, demonstrating her dedication to the family business and its success. At the end of the day, Marion was known to enjoy her signature cocktail, a Manhattan.
Marion is survived by her son Mark Juckett and his wife Debbie of Bourne, MA, daughter Kristine Terrio of Concord, NH, daughter-in-law Colleen Maider of Norwood, MA and grandchildren, Ryan Juckett, Kate Tallberg and her husband Anders, Steven Juckett, Elisabeth Terrio, Allison Juckett and Carly Juckett. She is also survived by her best friend and sister, Ann-Marie Blomquist of Dedham and her nephews, Ken, Paul and Dave Blomquist and their families. Marion was also predeceased by her loving son, Carl Juckett.
Visiting hours will be held at Folsom Funeral home, 649 High Street, Westwood, on Tuesday March 28, between 5:30-7:30 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to CRVNA, Hospice, 30 Pillsbury St, Concord, NH 03301.

Kate so sorry for your loss, Grammies are special people who hold so much family knowledge and give us so much love. Sending all our sympathies to you and your family
I worked with Marion for 8 plus years and I consider it to have been a privilege and pleasure. I enjoyed having known her and will remember our working time together fondly. Sending my deepest sympathies to her family at her passing.
She will be missed by everyone that had the honor in getting to know her.
I have known Marion for all my 74 years Always enjoyed her company. We Will all miss her.
Kristine your mom was a wonderful person. I loved our times at Cub Let’s get together soon. XXXOOO
Marion – a kind and gentle soul with a great sense of humor and a generous heart – truly a rare find. You will be deeply missed by all.
Many years ago when Marion and Ann-Marie were little girls they visited relatives in Sweden. In the neighbours house was a girl at the same age. They played together. That girl was my mother Ingegerd. When they met again several years later as adults I wanted to have a pen pal. It’s magic that a piece of paper with an adress could travel in a pocket from Sweden to a girl in USA (Kristine), and pass on a great friendship to coming generations.
We’re all so thankful to Marion for bringing us together!
Love from Ingela with family
My condolences to Marion’s family. I My heart is breaking for you. . I loved Marion, Wayne, Lillian, Milford —they were family to me. We had some wonderful times together. They were the kindest, most generous people I have ever known. I feel so bad that I am unable to be there, but my health will not allow. My thoughts are with you.
