Clifford C. Jackson
July 15, 1931 - July 19, 2024
LAKE GENEVA - Clifford C. Jackson, 93, of Lake Geneva, WI, stepped into glory on Friday, July 19, 2024. He was born on July 15, 1931 in Chicago, IL. He was the son of Enoch and Aina Jackson who had emigrated from Sweden.
Cliff married Elizabeth Helin on January 3, 1953 and spent 71 years together. They moved to the North side of Chicago where they were members of the Ravenswood Covenant Church for fifty years where he enjoyed serving wherever needed.
Cliff was proud to have served in the Army National Guard, and had many stories of being a cook. He worked at First National Bank in Chicago as a painter until he started his own company in 1957. He loved to work and grew his business to include apartment rentals and general contracting.
He committed his life to Jesus when he was a teenager at Camp Shagbark and enjoyed serving the Lord in whatever was needed. Cliff and Liz moved to Lake Geneva, WI and became members of the Calvary Community Church. He loved spending time with his family, traveling and White Castle hamburgers.
Cliff is survived by his wife, Elizabeth; his children: Russel (Philomena) Jackson, Lynette Jackson and Christine (Jim) Pascolla; his grandchildren: Kristine Korzun, Laura (Steve) Mkrtschjan, Justine Larsen, Kayley Larsen and Axel Larsen; and four great-grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at Calvary Community Church in Williams Bay, WI, on Saturday, August 3, 2024, 10:00 AM Memorial Gathering, 11:00 AM service and a private internment. Service will be live-streamed.
In lieu of flowers, the family request donations to Covenant Harbor Bible Camp, 1724 West Main Street, Lake Geneva, WI 53147 or Agape House, 215 South Main Street, Walworth, WI 53184.

We want to extend our thoughts and prayers for your family. WeI came to know them through my wife and Christine. Your husband, dad, father in law, grand pa, and great grand pa was a great person. He loved the lord and his family with his whole heart. He extended his kindness to everyone he met. He lived a full life with no regrets. He always had a great story to tell and made you feel a part of his life.
While we are saddened by his departure from this world we are joyful he is home.
