Mrs. Jackson was an accomplished artist and talented seamstress. She brought beauty into the world through her hands and heart. Whether with a paintbrush, needle, or thread, she expressed her gifts with grace and care, leaving lasting treasures for those she loved.
A devoted Bible scholar and teacher, Mrs. Jackson poured her faith into the lives of many, guiding others with wisdom, patience, and an unwavering example of God’s grace. Her love for scripture was evident not only in her teaching but in the way she lived – a reflection of compassion, humility, and strength.
She also served as a quiet counselor and patient therapist to family and friends, always offering a listening ear, sound advice, and a gentle spirit. Even in simple moments, she inspired joy and curiosity, playing Scrabble and Rummikub, reading and studying and encouraging others to keep learning and growing.
Mrs. Jackson’s legacy lives on in her family, who carry forward her love of learning, creativity, and faith. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered as a graceful matriarch, a faithful servant, and a loving soul whose light continues to shine in all who knew her.
