NORMA JEAN BLEVINS JACKSON, age 85, of Franklin, Ohio, passed away Monday, October 16, 2023, at Ohio's Hospice of Butler and Warren Counties. She was born August 15, 1938, in Middletown, Ohio, and was a resident of this area all her life. She graduated from Monroe High School Class of 1956. She worked for Albers Super Market as a cashier and at Aeronca Aircraft as a bookkeeper but found her most fulfilling role as a stay-at-home mom for 64 years. Norma married Sherwood Duane Jackson on April 4, 1958. They were together for 65 years. Norma's passions included her strong faith in God, her daily Bible reading, her faithful attendance to Grace Baptist Church since 1948, and family. She loved caring for her husband and kids and later doting on her grandchildren. Norma also enjoyed traveling with her family and later with the Jolly 60's Group, attending Southern Gospel concerts, thrift shopping with her daughter, cooking for her family, entertaining friends, working in her flower garden, and feeding her backyard birds. Preceding her in death were her parents, Clarence Blevins, Bertie (Egelston) Blevins, and her sister, Marilyn Blevins. She is survived by her husband, Sherwood Duane Jackson, four children, Michael (Merrie) Jackson, Timothy Jackson, David (Myra) Jackson, Pamela Jackson, and six grandchildren, Laura Jackson, Rachel Jackson, Matthew Jackson, Rebekah Jackson, Eli Jackson, Seth Jackson, and many nieces and nephews.

I´ve known your Mom my whole life through being a member of Grace Baptist Church. I will miss her a lot, but I will always have such precious memories of her. She was just a Godly woman and such a inspiration to everyone whose life she touched. I remember the trips that the Jolly 60´s took and my husband and I enjoy getting to fellowship with them. She was so devoted to her God, family, church, & friends.
She´s at peace now and all that can be done is remember the memories she left with and everyone whose life she touched.
May God be with each and everyone of you during this time.

Your Mom always had such a sweet attitude, and a nice smile and a Godly heart. Love and prayers I to all the family. Would have been there but did not find the information until later. May God continue to watch over all your family.
