- Canada has lost another wonderful and talented actress. She was one of a kind. Every actor dreams of having a career like hers, long-lasting and memorable.
- Aunt Hetty always struck fear into my little child heart and made me want to sit up straight! Jackie Burroughs was incredible.
- I feel like I've lost a family member -- I grew up on ROAD TO AVONLEA. R.I.P. Jackie; as an icon of the Canadian TV screen you will be missed but never forgotten.
- I had the pleasure of knowing her socially about Cabbagetown's haunts, and she was always approachable and was the very epitome of humility. None of that big fish/small pond stuff with her. A lovely woman. I'm so sorry I shan't run into her again.
- I remember seeing Jackie Burroughs on the train..I smiled at her in recognition & she winked at me!
- No mention of Jackie when she was Head Girl at Toronto's Branksome Hall. She excelled in swimming, was a beautiful diver and as students we were just blown away when she would recite Shakespeare on stage at morning assembly. A very unique, intelligent and gifted actor and may she rest in peace.
- RIP, Jackie Burroughs. She, along with Colleen Dewhurst, really proved that "women of age" definitely have a place on stage and screen.
- Met her as an extra on the set of The Road to Avonlea. She was always cracking up and generous. She was genuine and real; what you saw was just what you got. She spent a great deal of time encouraging everyone on the set including that day, as I recall, Faye Dunaway and Maureen Stapleton. Jackie Burroughs could stay ahead of the best of them!
- Very sad news, indeed. I recall meeting Ms. Burroughs in passing on a Toronto street (she getting on the TTC, me exiting), it was at the time she played Mother Mucca on Tales of the City. I adored her performance and had a chance to tell her. She was lovely and warm and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I think that tells a lot about her.
- A class act - I will miss her. She encompasses everything that is wonderful in a talented actor: presence, performance and character. Bravo Lady Burroughs, Canada will mourn your curtain call. May your loved ones be comforted by our adoration.
