On December 30, 1951, in Muskogee, Oklahoma,  a beautiful, bouncing, baby girl was born to Lenox, Sr and Pearl Johnson and they named her, Pearlene.

She grew up in Muskogee and graduated from Historic Manual Training High School. Pearlene achieved her life long dream of becoming a wife and mother when she met and married the love of her life, Sherman Jackson.  Three children were born from this union. She worked as a Certified Nursing Aid at various nursing homes. Pearlene spent her golden years with her grandchildren. She was know for her beautiful spirit, her smile that would brighten the room, a soft voice that could calm the sea.

On Monday, August 7, 2017, Pearlene Jackson, in her 65th year with us,  was called home to be with her Lord. Awaiting her arrival was her parents, Lenox and Pearl Johnson, her husband, Sherman Jackson, her son, Brian Jackson, three sisters, Georgia Williams, Irene Porter, Judy Pratt and one brother Charles Johnson.

Those left to mourn and celebrate her home-going;  her daughter, Allene Jackson, of Tulsa, Oklahoma; her son DeAndre Jackson (Emtecia), Muskogee, Oklahoma; two sisters, Tabitha Adell Brown and Gussie Francis Pitts; two brothers, C.J. Johnson and Lenox Johnson, Jr; eight grandchildren; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

The final hour of sharing will commence on Monday morning, August 14, 2017 at 11:00 A.M. in the Mount Zion Baptist Church.  The Pastor, Reverend David Ragsdale, will officiate.  Burial will follow in the National Cemetery at Fort Gibson at 1:00 P.M.
