Nancy Marie Jackson

Nancy Marie Jackson of Birmingham died peacefully on November 1, 2022, with her family by her side. She was 84 years old. Nancy, the 3rd of seven children, was born on September 13, 1938 in Algonac, Michigan to parents Marie (nee Ferguson) and Clarence Nugent.
Nancy was a deeply faithful woman and dedicated member of Holy Name Catholic Church. She was married to the late James Jackson, the love of her life, for 46 years. She had a lifelong love of learning and enjoyed reading, writing poems, spending time in the garden, and was a novice birdwatcher. Growing up on the St. Clair River, Nancy loved the water and boating was one of her favorite family activities. Above all, Nancy was never happier than when her family was together. She loved cheering on her grandkids in their numerous sports. She was the embodiment of the phrase "to know her is to love her" and will be greatly missed.
