Gladys Symone Jackson

Gladys Symone Jackson was born on January 5, 1937, in Abbeville, South Carolina to the late Samuel and Evelyn Miller. At a young age, Gladys and her family moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she was educated in the Philadelphia school system, graduating from Bartram High School.

After graduating high school, she furthered her education by attending college to become a computer technician. As an adult, Gladys relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada where she met the love of her life, Melvin Jackson Sr. and the two later married. Later in life, she relocated to Greenwood, South Carolina to be closer to family and became a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Coronaca, South Carolina

Gladys loved beauty and clothing and was just as beautiful on the inside as the outside and it was evident through her bright smile.

She departed this life and entered eternal rest on Friday, September 9th, 2022 at her home.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Melvin Jackson Sr., one brother Melvin Miller and one sister Anna Smith.

Glady leaves to cherish fond memories four brothers Samuel, John, Alvin, and Hollis; her sisters-in-law Doris, Valerie, Deloris, Dora, and Zella. One stepdaughter Belinda Clark and one step granddaughter. One special cousin Evelyn Walker, one special caregiver Kathy Grant and a host of other loving relatives and friends.
