Obituary for Ruth Jackson

Ruth  Jackson
Ruth Jackson went to be with the Lord Thursday, Feb. 14, 2019 at the age of 85. This was at the end of a wonderful period of hospice care for failing kidneys where her health rallied and she was active with family, friends, and her new hobby of painting with no fear of death before passing away peacefully with a deep trust in God.

She was born in Springhill, to Aubrey and Eloise Gary. She and her late husband E. Dale Jackson were residents of Sturgis, until Dale's death in 2015, when Ruth moved to Germantown, Tennessee, to be close to family.

She is survived by her sons: Clay Jackson and Aubrey (Beth) Jackson: and grandchildren: Garrett Jackson, Samantha Jackson, Benjamin Jackson, and David Jackson; and sisters: Neva (Carroll) Hemphill, Annette Waits, Sue Boland, and Dianne (George) Simon.

She was a long time member of Sturgis Baptist Church.

Visitation is from 1:00-2:30 p.m., Monday February. 18, 2019, at Sturgis Baptist Church in Sturgis, with a funeral service at 2:30 p.m. officiated by Rev. Russell Mord.

Memorials in lieu of flowers may be made to French Camp Academy in French Camp, MS.
