Lois Ann Jackson

Because of her father's employment, the Shumway's moved about the area, living in Grand Rapids, Lyons, and Lake Odessa and finally settling in Jackson, Michigan when Lois was in the sixth grade. Lois graduated from Jackson High School in 1959. Always keeping ties to Lake Odessa because of her grandparents living there. A neighbor, Mr. Elliot, invited the Shumway girls to North Street Bible Church. He and his wife saw to it that the girls always had a way to church. At this church, Lois, heard the Lord calling her to become one of his own. Lois was about 14 years old. She has lived for the Lord ever since. In Lois' mid-teens she was introduced to Lester Jackson on a blind date. They dated long distance, on weekends for a few years. Lester popped the question and they were married June 21, 1959. Lois then moved to the "farm" on Elm Road. She loved the farm life and all that went with it. Lois had 3 sisters, Pat Platt, Bonnie Clink, and Cathy Barrie. They always had so much fun together, shopping, having lunch and laughing. Lois has been a member of Clarksville Bible Church for over 50 years. She helped with Sunday school, Ladies Bible studies, and she was part of the original group named the Spatula Club. Lois helped with the Bethlehem Village each Christmas. Lois loved every aspect of her Church. Lois was an extremely good clogger. She was a member of the Thunder Floor Cloggers; directed by Bob and Linda Werner, for many years. They performed at a number of places in Michigan. They even went to the Bob Evans Farm in Ohio, where Lois met the founder of her favorite restaurant. Lois was blessed with musical abilities.

She loved to sing as a solo, in trios, and in the choir. She gained her abilities, with her sisters, while doing the evening dishes. Lois was in the Euthony Choir all the way through high school. Lois was employed by the United States Postal Service for 30 years. She is remembered by many people for her friendly smile as she delivered their mail each day. She missed very few days...the mail must get through! With the

Help of her sons, neighbors, and friends, Lois took care of Lester during his illness. Lester passed on in July 29, 2010. Lois and Lester had two sons, Daniel A. Jackson and Scott W. Jackson, two wonderful

Bonus daughters, Adair Jackson and Mandy Jackson. Lois and Lester have a baby in Heaven also. The Jackson family has many people who loved Lois and called her Granny; Jennifer, Autumn, Wesley, Joshua, Dakotah, Audrey, Shelbi, Kyle, Becca, and Shannon and their spouses. Lois is also a GREAT grandmother to 23+ precious little ones. One of Lois' favorite verses from the bible of Proverbs 31: 5&6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."
