Cora Clark Jackson
Athens
Mrs. Cora Clark Jackson of 1092 West Broad St. passed away
Thursday, Feb. 8, 2001 at St. Mary's Hospital after a brief
hospital stay. Death was peaceful for Cora.
Born the oldest child of Mrs. Gladys and the late Matthew Clark
Sr., her formative years consisted of education on the public
school system in Oconee and Clarke Counties. She was married to
Thomas Jackson.
''Hard work'' seemed such a fitting middle name for Cora. She
loved work. Being the oldest gave her the title of care giver which
she carried until her death. Always looking after and caring for
her sisters and brother and being their best friend as well. She
was always doing for others.
While we're adding names we can't forget ''Fun.'' Laughter was
always with her. ''A merry heart is medicine for the soul.''
Later, she moved to Indiana where she obtained her CNA title,
still in the care business.
After moving back to Athens, she found work as a Private Duty
Caregiver, where she worked until her death.
I don't have to tell you about her awards or her church
affiliation. Just know that she knew who God is and that Jesus
loved her. The life she lived spoke for her. Her greatest joy was
in helping others.
She will be sorrily missed by her mom, Gladys Clark; two
sisters, Patricia C. Snelling and Magnolia Clark; a brother,
Matthew Clark Jr.
Two brothers preceded her in death, Thomas and Willie James
Clark; and one son preceded her death, Samuel Le'Nelson Jackson.
