Gloria Jackson

Gloria Jackson, a loving and devoted sister, daughter, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2023, in Lakeland, Florida. Born on February 24, 1958, in Brooksville, Florida, she will be fondly remembered for her warmth, kindness, and passion for reading.

Gloria was the cherished daughter of the late Joe Jackson and Viceola Scriven and was fortunate to have a strong and supportive relationship with her godmother, Louvenia Butler. Her deep sense of family and her bonds with her four siblings were at the center of her life, providing her joy and motivation that she carried throughout her journey.

From a young age, Gloria developed a love for reading that only grew stronger as she matured. Her vast collection of books, ranging from classics to contemporary works, was her pride and joy. Her affinity for literature often led to enriching conversations, and she shared her favorite books and authors with friends and family, spreading her appreciation for the written word.

Gloria was known for her loving and generous nature, always willing to lend an ear or shoulder to those in need. Her genuine interest in others and her ability to listen offered comfort to many. Her passing leaves a void that will be difficult to fill, but the memory of her love and kindness will sustain those who knew her.

In the words of Maya Angelou: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." This sentiment rings true for Gloria as the impact she made on others will long outlive her time on Earth.

Gloria Jackson's life was a beautiful testament to the power of love, family, and the pursuit of knowledge. She will be missed by her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched with her warm presence and steadfast love. May she rest in peace, her spirit ever shining brightly in the hearts and memories of all who loved her.
