George Jackson Obituary
George was a retired coal miner of Caney Branch Coal and of the Freewill Baptist Faith. He was a wonderful husband, dad, grandfather, and a friend to many. Spending time with his family and grandchildren was the enjoyment of his days and they were all so special to him, but he had one that he thought of as his very own, Chris Stump. In his spare time, he enjoyed a good poker game.
Those surviving George include his loving wife of being together for 31 years, Dolly Gail Jackson of Phelps, KY; sons, George Randall Jackson of Florahome, FL, Jamie Jackson of Phelps, KY; daughters, Sue (Johnny) Stump of Phelps, KY, Barbara Young (Buddy Francis) of Phelps, KY, and Georgetta (Kenny) Patrick of Whitman, W.V.; brothers, Virgil Jackson of Chesapeake, OH, and Bernard Jackson of McCarr, KY; one sister, Margaret Ann Estep of McCarr, KY; and a stepson, Timmy Lell of Stopover, KY.
George was the beloved grandfather of Chris Stump of Phelps, KY, Lynn Stump of Phelps, KY, Wendy Young of Sevierville, TN, Rodney Young of Phelps, Ky, Randy Jackson of Jefferson, KY, Shawn Michael Jackson of FL, Andy Jackson of Irvine, KY, Pamela McCoy of Thacker, W.V., Michelle Jackson of Thacker, W.V., and Berlynna Jackson of Thacker, W.V.; 19 great grandchildren; and 9 great-great grandchildren and one on the way.
George will be remembered for his hard work, dedication to his family, and the love he so freely gave them.
