Jackie Searcy Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Edmonds Funeral Home - Jonesboro on Dec. 9, 2025.
Doneta "Jackie" (Peel) Searcy, age 83, passed away on Sunday, December 7, 2025, in Jonesboro, Louisiana. A woman of quiet strength, Jackie found joy in the simple gifts of life-crocheting, tending to her vegetable garden, and surrounding herself with the flowers she loved so dearly. She enjoyed cooking for her family and took great pride in canning fruits and vegetables. Above all, her greatest happiness came from the moments she spent with her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life.

Jackie is survived by her children, Danny Searcy (Lisa), Eric "Moe" Searcy (Tracy), and Debra Searcy Drury (Derek); 11 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; sisters, Claudine Pardue and Darenda Knapp; and brothers, Wayne Peel and Marlon Peel.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Earnest D. Searcy; father, Jack Corbin Peel; mother, Ora Mae (Davis) Peel; son, Donnie Searcy; daughter, Sissy Evans; grandson, Donnie Ray Searcy; and brother, James Howard Huckaby, Sr.

Friends may visit with the family at Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home Chapel in Jonesboro on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM. The funeral service will be held at Ebenezer Baptist Church near Weston on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 1:00 PM. Bro. Chris Lee and Bro. Michael McNatt will officiate. Burial will follow in the Ebenezer Cemetery under the direction of Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home.
