Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Janie Maria Jackson, aged 71, passed away peacefully in her sleep the night of March 10, 2021 after living with dementia for almost three years.
Janie was born on March 1, 1950 to loving parents Imogene and Robert Jackson in Montgomery, Alabama. She graduated from Auburn University in 1972 with a degree in business administration and subsequently moved around the southeast, eventually settling back in Montgomery, Alabama to be near her parents and raise her daughter.
She loved animals, gardening, exercise, and spending time with her childhood friends after reconnecting through Facebook in 2011. Some of her favorite recent memories were spent at lunch with the “BGs” or on their annual beach trip. She was the best friend of her daughter, who will always treasure their Friday nights at the Capri Theatre and Thanksgiving trips to Callaway Gardens.
She is survived by her only daughter, Morgan Jackson-Flowers and many loving friends, all who miss her very much. She has been greeted in Heaven by both parents, her sister Martha Jackson, the many pets she cared for during her life, and the dear ones who preceded her.
Messages of condolence may be left at www.GeorgiaCremation.com. The Jackson family is being assisted by Georgia Cremation, 1086 Hwy 54 West, Fayetteville.

Morgan, my heart goes out to you. I lost touch with your family years ago but they were so important to me as a child. I went on vacations with them. They were all so great. I’m sure there are others who have these same memories. May you find comfort in the memories you have of your wonderful mother.

A TRIBUTE
To you, Janie, My special and unique friend. From the beginning, when we were young, I have held you apart as an ideal. To me you have always been the personification of effortless grace. Your natural beauty was inside as well as outside; you were caring and warm, interested in the lives of everyone you met. I loved how you listened, how you cared, and your joyous embrace of life. And no one adored a child more than you adored your lovely and charming daughter. If I ever knew a friend I thought was perfect, it was you. I WILL MISS YOU…

Dear Friend, Janie I will miss your sweet spirit and your infectious smile. Morgan, it seems like yesterday that the BG’s were celebrating your 21st. Birthday. Your Mom was so excited and so were we at the beach. May God bless you as He heals your heart. I know my heart is breaking for you, Morgan. I really love your Mom.

Beloved Morgan, this is Dr. E-K from the Capri. I was SO saddened to see your mom’s obit. I was touched that you said your Friday’s at the Capri were important to you. From when you were a girl I enjoyed a special relationship with you and your mom. Whenever she came without you she assured me she was telling you I love and miss you as she updated me on your adult life. Now it is you and I missing her together. Please friend me on FB and get in touch with me on Messenger. Will give you all contact info there. Would like to continue to be an “auntie” in your life you and your mom and I shared so many hugs and laughs. You were both so smart, witty and fun. I always delighted in seeing you both, or those 2 times I saw you there without her. Much love and support. Dr E-K Daufin from Friday’s @the Capri before the pandemic. Love you both. May your heart be comforted!
