Etheline Jackson

Etheline was a homemaker and the devoted mother of five children. She was loved by many and was a kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. She was a proud and faithful supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for more than fifteen years. Her faith in our Lord Jesus Christ never faltered. She spoke only kind and loving words to everyone she met and never knew a stranger. She is now at peace, resting in heaven in the arms of Jesus.

She was preceded in death by her husband, John Thomas “JT” Jackson; her daughter, Mary Sue Boahn; her grandson, Randy Boahn; her parents, Jim and Sudie Beard; her brothers, Paul, John, and Hazel Beard; and her sisters, Lula-Mae Simmons and Ivana Beard.

She is survived by her children: Carolyn Faircloth (Percy) and Thomas “Buck” Jackson (Wendy), both of Roseboro; John “Johnnie” Jackson (Donna) of White Oak; and Jackie “Jack” Jackson (Julie) of Erwin. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, nine grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter. She will be deeply missed by her family, her community, and all who knew and loved her.
