Mr. Delbert Eugene Jackson, Sr., 84, of Muskogee Oklahoma, transitioned from Earth to Glory on December 8, 2020, with his wife and family by his side.

Upon his return home, he met and married the love of his life, Priscilla Ann Carter. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson lived in Wichita, Kansas, later moved to Okay Oklahoma, then eventually settled in Muskogee Oklahoma. From that union came 4 souls: Delbert Jr., Caryn, Lavonda, and Steven; Delbert and Priscilla also welcomed into their home and raised their nieces and nephew as their own: Joey, Diane, Bernadette, Lolita, Helene, Agatha, and LaTonda.
