Mrs. Jackson was a wonderful coach, mentor, and teacher. I had the honor of being under her tutelage at North Marion High School. While I never made the basketball team, the resilience and toughness I learn from her has been a life lesson that I carry with me today. She was a blessing to us as ahe pushed us out of our comfort zone and encouraged us to set high standards for every endeavor. Rest in love and power, Ora Lee!

Prayers and condolences I send to all her family and loved ones. Ora Lee Jackson had...

What can I say. A special friend who called me often, who help my grandaughter with scholarship, finances for college. I'm going to miss our phone calls but God called her name and she answered. I'll always hold a place in my heart for Ora Lee Jackson.
