Mary Loretta Jackson, age 69, went home with the Lord Monday, June 5, 2006.

She was born May 7, 1937 in West Blocton, AL a daughter of Aaron Thomas and Effie Sue (Owens) Majors.

At 29 years old she became a widow, left to raise six children.

She then moved back to Harrison where she went to college at North Arkansas College until becoming ill. She was involved with the Student Government as Vice President and Representative.
