Emma G. Jackson, age 63, of Clarkson, departed this life on Sunday, November 22, 2020 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The Grayson County native was born on March 6, 1957 to the late Clarence and Temple Logsdon Meredith. She was married to her devoted husband of forty-five years, Wally Jackson, who survives.
Emma retired from Clarkson Elementary. She was saved in revival on July 11, 1989 at Broadford Missionary Baptist Church, where she remained a member. She kept the faith. Her heart’s desire was to help the lost find the way, and to be a true soldier and servant for the Lord.
Besides her husband, she leaves to honor her memory– her daughter, Bridget Smith (Craig) of Clarkson; two grandsons, Dalton Layne Smith and Cole Smith; one great-grandson, Keylin; four brothers, Jerry Meredith, Farley Meredith (Jean), Lester Meredith (Brenda) and Bruce Meredith (Cathy); four sisters, Tenny Webb (Dale), Bonnie Haycraft (Ernest), Susie Decker (Robert) and Dixie Webb (Howard); one sister-in-law, Elaine Meredith and a host of friends and family members that she loved. She was also preceded in death by three brothers, Louie, Bill and Gordon Meredith.
Interment will be at Broadford Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery.
