She was an Intake Counselor for the Detroit Rescue Mission and also worked as an adult homecare specialist. She then decided to try entrepreneurship and became the owner of the Zodiac Lounge located on 7 mile and Dequindre.
Avery was a God-fearing, loving, motivated and hard driven mother of five boys: Kevin, Curtis, Richard, Mark, and Nicholas. God gave her a bonus son, Terence Tee Jackson. She loved her sons immensely and kept them busy. She loved playing baseball and skating, just as much as they did. She dedicated a number of years to serving as secretary for her Motorcycle Associations. Avery was also a member of the Eastern Star. Friends are hard to come by, but Avery was blessed with Zandra, Elaine, Tina, Juanita and Baby Gee.
Avery was known by family and those close to her as "Sweetie" and later picked up the nickname "Red". The two terms of endearment collided and she became affectionately known as "Sweet Red".
Avery loved to cook for others and was known for her mac and cheese, spaghetti, catfish, black eyed peas and hot water cornbread. She had such a loving and caring spirit. She was always doing something to uplift others mentally and spiritually. She made herself available at all times it didn't matter the time or day if you needed her, she would be there.
