Zadunayski (Sleen), Jackie
June 24, 1967 to November 13, 2025
Jackie passed away at the age of 58 after a brave battle with heart disease. She was a devoted and loving Mom, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, and friend.
Heaven gained a beautiful soul who was generous with her kindness, always up for a good chat, happy to share a smile with everyone she met, and the strongest fighter.
Jackie is survived by her daughter and pride and joy Kaiya, her mom Dianne, her sister Casey (Bill, Tara, Brooke) and her brother Gord (Anita). She was predeceased by her father Orville in May.
A funeral will be held on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 1:00 pm at St. Albert Catholic Parish, 7 St. Vital Ave, St. Albert, AB. A light reception will follow in the church hall.
She was the most amazing caring person. Even going through heart issues. She always put others first. Absolutely came from her Mom and Dad. Thank you
My double condoleces for Dianne and family, till today i find out Orville and Jackie passed away.

Sending hugs, strength and love. She was such a beautiful human!
Sending love and sympathy. A longtime friend and a light in this world, Jackie will always be remembered.
My condolences to the family. Rest in Peace Jackie.
There are no sufficient words to describe my sorrow on hearing of Jackie’s passing. She was the most courageous, inspiring, kind and amazing human being. Jackie was always upbeat no matter what life threw at her and always had a smile and words of encouragement for others. She had a wicked sense of humour and contagious laugh. I shall miss her greatly. My thoughts go out to all her family, but in particular Kaiya. Jackie felt her greatest gift and accomplishment was being Kaiya’s Mom. She was a great Mom and loved Kaiya with all her being. Kaiya, you had an incredible role model and mentor and I know your Mom will always be with you, watching you from afar, and keeping you safe.
Rest in peace my beautiful friend. Your friends and family will carry on for you so no need to worry.
So incredibly sorry to hear this. Jackie was a beautiful person. Sincere condolences to all who loved her.
My condolences to Jackie’s family and friends. I am really going to miss our chats, laughs and reminiscing. She was a great friend and I will treasure our friendship and memories forever. I know she will be waiting at the gates when it is my time to cross over. Rest in peace my friend, until we meet again
There are no words to adequately express my sorrow at this news. The world has lost a most amazing human being. Jackie was brilliant, funny, always upbeat, loving, caring, and loyal. She had the most amazing laugh and was always hopeful. She was a warrior, fighting each health setback every step of the way with hope and vision of what could be. Kaiya, you have had a most amazing mother to mentor you and demonstrate for you what it means to be a truly good person. I know she loved you to the moon and back and I know she will be watching over you always. My thoughts and prayers are with all of Jackie’s family and friends.
My condolences to Kaiya, Dianne, Casey, Bill, Tara, Brooke, Gord and Anita.
May your love and memories sustain you during this time and throughout the remainder of your lives as you cherish the memories and grieve the loss simultaneously.
With much love
