Shirley Sims Jackson

Shirley Sims Jackson was born September 27, 1954 to the late Mack and the late Beulah Sims.

Ms. Jackson was a loving and kind-hearted soul who impacted so many lives. She truly loved her family and gave of herself unconditionally.   A gentle woman clothed in humility was demonstrated each day in God’s grace. Patience was a true virtue Shirley possessed as she walked through out her journey of life.   She was outspoken and feisty at times. It was a side of her that her family knew quite well, but was always shown when times called for a stern hand in love.

Ms. Jackson was a member of the Hahira First Baptist Church and loved her church family. She was a faithful member until her health failed.

After enduring a lengthy illness , God granted Ms. Shirley Sims Jackson eternal rest with an immortal body on March 11, 2019.

She leaves to cherish her memories: her children, Antonio Jackson (Teneeka) of Atlanta, GA, Edward Jackson Jr. (Kim) and Felicia Denson (Lester) of Valdosta, GA; thirteen grandchildren; one great-grandchild; four sisters: Jeanette Inman (John) of   Eastman, GA, Janice Peak (William) of Quitman, GA, Jenel Patterson (William), and Cynthia Sims of Valdosta, GA; three brothers: Raymond Sims of Atlanta, GA, Johnny Sims (Sharon) and Calvin Sims of Valdosta, GA, two aunts: Roberta Polk of Cecil, GA and Katie Futch of Miami, FL; special nieces: Vanessa Watts and Tiffany Lewis; special friends at Northside Baptist Church and Hahira First Baptist Church; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
