She was a very loving person and brought joy to all who loved her, especially her nieces and nephews, who affectionately called her Aunt Joe.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her two brothers, John Edward Jackson and Arthur Robert "Boots" Jackson, and a niece, Lucille Jackson Toler.

She leaves to cherish her precious memories an aunt, Ms. Minnie Brown; a devoted sister-in-law, Alberta M. Jackson, both of Lynchburg; nephews, Edward L. Jackson (Barbara), of Waldorf, Md., Donald A. Jackson ( Lynn), of Lakeville, Minn., Charles Jackson (LaVerne), of Lynchburg, Leonard L. Mack, of Oxon Hill, Md., Richard Warrick (JoAnn), of Madison Heights, and Phillip Warrick (Sandra), of Lynchburg; nieces, Sandra K. Jackson and Freddie Warrick Smith, both of Lynchburg; a devoted niece, Carolyn J. McCain (Danny), who were her caretakers for many years; two dedicated great-nieces, Dannette L. McCain, of Winston-Salem, N.C., and Candace McCain, of Columbus, Ohio; many other great-nieces and nephews; a faithful cousin, Mary Scruggs (John); and other friends and relatives.
