Words cannot express the sadness in my heart upon the loss of my mother-in-law, Mama as I would often call her, and my friend Idella Jackson.
I can only express gratitude that the lord has appointed me as a benefactor of such an amazing journey with Idella. Upon reading her obituary you can see that she was the essence of a strong black woman who persevered despite the odds. Loving, Courageous, deliberate, a finisher and someone who feared, loved, and knew the Lord in the pardon of sin.
The empty room in the house marrows the void left in my heart; our daily routine would consist of coffee, breakfast, perry mason, Matlock and in the heat of the night OH! How I looked forward to those commercial break conversations about her mother (Daisey) those trips down the hill for a cup of coffee with grandpapa and the Friday and Saturday night dances at the Elementary school on Ararat Road hosted by Phillis Turner.
Gone too soon; I had plans to learn so much more from Idella, such a given soul’ beside her step-by-step recipe for making those magnificent Fisk biscuits. I erroneous begin with a me centered vision which often led to dissatisfaction, very seldom dose our plans align with God’s plans. The scripture tells us in Isaiah 55:8-9 that God’s thoughts and ways are not ours; they are higher, and they fit His standards not ours. His timing is included in his ways, and it is always perfect. I listened as she made her petition “Help me Lord,” and watched as her wishes and his will were fulfilled. Larry Tartt

Ms Idella was a beautiful soul inside and out. She welcomed you with open arms! I am blessed to have known her. She was fun, wise, loving, and a great cook! Thanks to her, I had my first experience with cooked pig feet and pig ears. I will never forget her hospitality and beautiful smile. My condolences to Arlene, Evan, Maria and the family. May God continue to keep you and give you strength during these difficult times. Love you forever ❤️

My grandmother was the epitome of fortitude. Her honesty gave me permission to be vulnerable and gave her and I the opportunity to have teachable moments and soul searching discussions.
My grandmother loved me enough to share the moments that hurt so that I, too, could decide if I would turn pain into purpose. From our talks, I learned that disappointed was inevitable, but I could use these pain points to decide what type of woman I would become.
Thank you grandma for the lessons & love.

"Lady Idella" embodies a, "Beautiful Season" of life. Each time I entered her presence, I met with a lovely and curious gaze (Kind and welcoming, with just a hint of mischief :-). Her initial gaze soon gave way to a beautiful and engaging smiles as we greeted one another hugs. Her hugs were awesome, very much like a mother hugging her son. I adored her sense of humor, and I graciously accepted her pops to the back my hand when she felt I misspoke or misbehaved during my visits. :-) Such a joyful heart!
Heartfelt condolences from the Justice family; we join you in steadfastly celebrating the LIFE of, "Lady Idella!" May God's Love, Power and Peace Comfort and Protect the family.

My mother had a knack for making nothing into something. Childhood poverty did not create a victim’s mentality but rather taught her to give back.
When nature interrupted her childhood and thrust her into the role of caregiver, my mother developed a passion for children, which would later catapult her into her life’s work.
My mother had a knack for making nothing into something. Fist biscuits and Karo syrup with fried salt pork was the menu as they headed to school in hand-sewn bleached-dyed flour sack dresses and skirts.
When the sanctity of matrimony was broken, and love lost its way, my mother gathered her children to restart her life far away.
My mother was the difference – always seeking to transform life’s misfortunes into opportunity. Beautiful, intelligent, and strong, my mother carved out a small space for herself in the abyss of time. My mother had a knack for making nothing into something, and I am my mother’s daughter.

My granny was one of the earliest examples of a strong woman i knew. She always had a zero tolerance policy for nonsense and that’s because she wanted everyone around her to reach their highest potential. This still hasn’t all hit me quite yet but I know she’s in a better place.

Ms. Idella, as I fondly referred to her, was the sweetest, most caring, lady. However, along with the sweetness and caring, came stearnness, guidance, and humor! Ms. Idella was a second mom to me in many ways. Her smile and transparency will be missed! I'm grateful to have known and benefitted from her wisdom! Rest on Queen. Love, Katrina Thompson

My sincere condolences. Family, thank you for sharing Ms. Idella with all of us.
What a legacy! I met Ms. Idella through the Faith Inspirational Cancer Support group. The intentional care that she provided, centered around prayer, fasting, meditating on God's word and hope, was unmatched and impactful. She helped me every step of the way during my battle. She was extraordinary. I am grateful that God appointed her and we connected.
Rest well faithful servant. Until we meet again.
With sincere gratitude,
Dr. Shawnté Beacham-Houston

Hello Merrier,
Words can not express the emotions a child feels when losing a parent; especially their mother. Mrs. Jackson was an incredible person, and I see much of her in you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you travel this path of a plethora of emotions. Celebrate that love is a mutual exchange and smile through the tears..love does not cease to exist when we die..."Love is perpectual and is FOREVER."
Gwendolyn and Geary Jones
