In 1965, Jamison failed to get out of the city playdowns again. The team would find more success the following season, with Jamison's daughter Gail Lee taking over skipping duties due to Jamison having a back-ailment. The team, which also included Sharon Herrington, and another one of Jamison's daughters, June Coyle finally won the Northern Alberta playdowns in 1966, defeating Dorothy Thompson in the final.

On Jamison's last rock of the game, she drew to the side of the button, but Fashoway made an angle raise to the other side of the button. The rocks were too close to the pin to be measured, so an umpire had to make the decision to determine which rock was closer, and awarded the point, and the victory to Alberta. This forced a playoff between the two teams for the championship, which Alberta easily won 11–4. Jamison curled 75% in the game. The family rink broke up after the season, with Jamison retiring, citing "here is too much pressure in curling", recalling the umpires decision in their round robin game against BC in the 1968 championship.
