Patricia Ann Jackson

.

Patricia Ann Jackson aka “Pattycake”, “Miss Pat”, passed away on Thursday morning, July 26, 2018 at the Morgan County Lifecare Center in Wartburg.

She received her BS Degree in Education from the University of Tennessee while teaching, taking care of her home, her husband and raising her three daughters. All the while, keeping up with her church activities at Middle Creek Baptist Church where she was a devoted member.

Mom was a master storyteller and a poet as well as an artist. She taught several grades in elementary school during her tenure at Coalfield School. Her last seven years were spent as art teacher. Miss Pat was dearly loved by her students for her kind and caring heart. She had a strong desire to teach, but also to care and nurture the kids she was allowed to spend each day with. She was busy at the school, always decorating for school functions such as proms, banquets and other activities. On holidays and summer breaks, our house was the place to be! She would let kids hang out and play, not worrying about a messy house, just so everyone had fun! She would be right in the middle of it! Mom had a heart of love and was the most humble person you could ever meet.  She spent the last few years at the Lifecare Center where her art is displayed on a wall in the entryway. She loved everyone on staff and they loved her. They gave her the most amazing care and attention and we truly thank them for that!

Mom was preceded in death by her parents, Edgar and Ora (Brown) Jackson;
