Jacquelyn Jackson

Mack

Mrs. Jacquelyn Jackson Mack was born on September 7, 1943 in Barnesville, Lamar County, Georgia to the parents of the late Mr. Joseph Jackson, Sr. and the late Mrs. Mary Emily Obley Jackson. She was the fourth of nine children born to this union.

Jacquelyn was educated in the Lamar County School System attending the Barnesville Industrial School and graduating from the Booker High School in 1962. While in high school, she served as a cheerleader and played on the ladies' basketball team.

At an early age, Jacquelyn accepted the Lord as her savior and joined the Sardis Missionary Baptist Church. She held numerous positions at the church including singing in the adult choir, serving on the missionary ministry and the hospitality committee, and serving as chairperson of the youth choir. She was united in holy matrimony to Mr. Clarence Mack. He preceded her in death on September 10, 2019.

Jacquelyn worked at the William Carter Company in Forsyth, GA for over twenty-five years before leaving that employment to become an entrepreneur. She had a passion for sewing and planning social events, leading her to establish Jackie's Notions. She planned and designed wedding attire for clients in Lamar and surrounding counties for many years. She also loved to bake cakes for her siblings, which became part of her business as well. For her pastime, Jacquelyn enjoyed gardening and tending to her flowers.

On April 2, 2021, the Lord decided that the time for Jacquelyn's departure from her earthly journey had come. The angels sewed on her wings, and her spirit took flight to its eternal resting place. She was preceded in death by her siblings to include Bessie Brantley, Jewell Ellis and Joseph Jackson, Jr.

Jacquelyn leaves to cherish her memories a loving family to include her daughter, Teresa Holloway of Griffin, GA; two sisters, Judy J. (Rollie) White and June J. Jackson both of Griffin, GA; three brothers, James (Patsy) Jackson of Forsyth, GA, Johnny (Juneattera) Jackson of Lizella, GA, and Alexander Jackson of Barnesville, GA; a special niece, Gibranda J. Jackson of Griffin, GA; a special son, Reginald McCord of Griffin, GA; and a host of other nieces, nephews, cousins, other family and friends who will miss her presence.
