I knew her better through stories than I did myself, but I never turned down an opportunity to visit. I still remember one of my first memories of her, I could hardly understand her accent! Such a loving woman, and while I am sad I will not be able to visit her in this life again, I will continue to visit her in my memories. I hope we may notice her smile brighten our days from up above in her reunion with great grandpa. She raised some beautiful souls in this life, I am happy to know hers...

Knowing her for almost 50 years, she always made me feel like one of her own. She was always happy and loving. Judy may have married into our family years ago...but we kept her and now we're in her family...Love you

I visited Gertrude at Brookshire with my dog regularly in the past five years. She was a special person whose positive attitude encouraged me. Even when she was very weak in her last days, she had a beautiful smile. My condolences to all the family.

I met Mrs Overaker when I was in the 8th grade and was at a sleepover with her daughter Judy. She was a kind loving mother.

Family, I am the grandson of Ida Mae Overaker Jackson and Lee Jackson. Her obituary reads just like most people in Orange and Durham county back in the day and carried on thru their lives. My grandparents were the same way. Always loving and caring. My condolences sent your way.
