Lorraine Jackson Slaughter was the seventh child born to the union of George Jackson Sr., and the late Mary Dell Jackson. She was married to the late Tynace Alan Slaughter. She departed this life on Sunday, March 29, 2020 at the age of 61. Lorraine was baptized and saved at a very young age. She was a lifelong resident of New Orleans and educated in the Orleans Parish School System. Lorraine was a deaconess and was studying to be a minister at Reaping the Harvest International Ministries, under the leadership of Pastor Troy Lawrence. Her favorite scripture was, Psalms 23, "The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want". Lorraine was full of life and lived every moment with compassion and joy! She loved to cook, laugh, listen to music, eat, spend time with friends and most of all, her grandkids. She would often refer to them as "them lil people". She loves her family and friends, and always wanted to be around them. Lorraine was the sweetest and most forgiving person. She was always positive about everything, and she was always there when you needed her. She always saw the good in every situation. Lorraine leaves to cherish her memory: her dad George Jackson Sr., 11 siblings: Diane, Brenda, Lois, Joyce, Pam, Mary Ellen, George, Aaron, Samuel, Rodney and Michelle; 3 children: Lakeisha, Tynace and Rodney; 10 grandchildren: Zachary Jr., Keymond, Zareia, Kiara, Rehiana, Raniya, Kamori, Rodney Jr., Rilo and Aki.
