Ana's obituary

Anayansi Taylor Jackman passed away unexpectedly on August 7, 2022 from heart failure. She was only 55 years old. Her family and friends are deeply saddened and shocked by her sudden death. Ana was born on October 27, 1966 in Colon, Panama to her mother Gloria Edwards.  She migrated to the United States on September 27, 1978 with her sister Beatriz Taylor.  She then attended P.S 221 and Wingate High School and lived in Brooklyn, New York for most of her life. She met her husband Rafael Jackman Sr. in 1981. They had 4 children together, Nuria Jackman, Krystal Jackman, Rafael Jackman Jr., and Rashida Jackman.

On July 7, 2004 Ana survived a triple bypass surgery. Ana may have had some struggles, but always lived life to the fullest. She loved going to bingo and playing slot machines at the casino in Foxwoods and Atlantic City. She also loved shopping, doing her nails, doing different hairstyles and going out for dinner especially at her favorite restaurant Red Lobster.

Everyone who knew Ana knew how charismatic and warm-hearted she was. Ana was full of light, joy and positivity that was obvious to all. Ana is survived by her mother (Gloria Edwards), sister (Beatriz Taylor), 4 children (Nuria, Krystal, Rafael Jr., Rashida), 2 nephews (Alexander Taylor, Peter Taylor), 5 grandchildren (Mason, Noel, Violet, Kevin Jr., Cameron) and an abundance of family and friends. She would do  anything for her family and loved them all so much. She made everyone who knew her laugh at all the stories she shared. She had such a great sense of humor and loved sharing that with everyone. Our family is grateful to know that Ana is finally at peace. We will miss Ana more than words can say.
