Linda Joyce Jackson

The world was graced by her presence from December 31, 1947 until September 4th, 2022 when she was called home to be reborn in Heaven.

Linda had a passion for watching westerns, listening to country music (especially Merle Haggard) and dancing with her husband Earl. She loved to travel with her family to places all around the world, most of all Paris France, and she enjoyed the beauty of all cultures. Linda loved to spend quality time with her grandchildren and she did everything within her power to make them happy and make them laugh. Linda also loved all of her cats with the same passion that she had with everything else in her life. She discovered her hidden talent for computers and found a second passion in life on Facebook and rediscovered family across the country and loved them very much.

As the matriarch of our family, she lit the path for her loved ones with the fire she possessed inside. Anyone lucky enough to have been blessed to know her, has seen the light that she possessed within.

Having done all that God has sent her to do on earth, God now has greater things in store for her in heaven.

Born in Mechanicsburg, PA in 1947. As a child, she traveled across the country with her family before she started a life, at a young age, to raise her 4 daughters. For many years, she worked in a laundry room with her mother, she worked as a housekeeper in various locations across the country, and she also worked at a seafood restaurant in Florida. She finally settled down in Arizona where she meet her husband Earl, the love of her life.
