Maggie B. Jackson

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted. Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2

Maggie B. Jackson was born May 28, 1942, to the late Isaac and Clara Watson in Drew, Mississippi. Maggie accepted Christ at an early age at Turner Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Ruleville, Mississippi under the leadership of the late Reverend Ferguson. On November 12, 1965, she was joined in holy matrimony to the late Nathaniel Jackson Sr. To this union six wonderful children who were loved and cared.

She was employed at Ruleville Manufacturing Co. where she retired as a machine operator. Her greatest joys during the high points of her life were spending time with her children and grandchildren. God, seeing that she had gotten weary, called Maggie B. to rest on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at her home in Ruleville, Mississippi. She is preceded in death by three sisters, Ovaline White, Dorothy Tolbert and Annette Townsend; two brothers, Eddie Watson and Isaac Watson Jr.

Maggie leaves to cherish and mourn her wonderful memories her children: three sons Willie (Adrelynn) Watson of Jacksonville, Florida, Eddie James (Vickie) Watson of Birmingham, Alabama, and Nathaniel Jackson Jr. of Ruleville, Mississippi; two daughters: Sharon (Kenneth) Mister of Lakeland, Tennessee and Beverly (Claud Jr.) Boddie of Cleveland, Mississippi.
