Jackson, Dorothy Marion, 1901-1973 (Person)

SummaryDorothy Jackson trained as a nurse at Auckland Hospital, graduating with honours in December 1929.

After a year as a staff nurse, she trained at Campbell Johnstone hospital in Hamilton and then did mid-wifery at St Helens, again passing with honours.

In November 1933 Dorothy moved to Tauranga and started Thornecliffe Private Hospital at 19 Edgecumbe Road, with Sister Jessie Watson.

Both nursing Sisters were actively involved in Red Cross, Crippled Childrens and many other local organisations. They were both made Honary Members of the N.Z. Registered Nurses Association and in 1956 Dorothy Jackson started a Tauranga Branch of the Business & Professional Womens Association. She was president for three years.

Thornecliffe was sold in March 1958 and Sister Dorothy Jackson retired to Taupo in 1969 where she lived until shortly before her death in Auckland in September 1973.SourcesNZSG Cemetery FichePurewa Cemetery and Crematorium Records"Coming of Age", Tauranga Photo News No. 47, April 1966Newspaper articile c. 1960s from unknown source: "With only hope and a plan, young nurses not deterred." by Staff reporter.Newspaper article c. 1960's from unknown source: "Appreciation: Huge Crowd Honours Retiring Nursing Sisters".Tauranga 1882-1982 - Centennial of Gazetting Tauranga as a Borough, p154-155
