Mrs. Jackson was born January 19, 1929 in Puckett, Mississippi. She loved the Lord and was a member of Light House Church, Longview, TX. Sylvia lived life to the fullest and loved being around family and friends. She never met a stranger, and when she entered a room, she was the focus of attention.
She grew up in Livingston, TX, where she was usually found at Gospel singings and camp meetings. She loved to sing and had a beautiful voice.
Sylvia was preceded in death by her husband, Earnest Jackson; parents, Eva and Rev. Julious Cole; sisters, Elaine Cole Roper and Elsi Dean Cole; brother, Raymond Cole; and her pride and joy pet, Jaguar.
Those left to cherish her memory are her two daughters and their husbands, Marlla and Albert Goettle and Juanita and Rusty Tucker; grandsons, Jon Reneau, Brandon Murray and Will Dooley; two great grandchildren, Jackson Reneau and Anniston Dooley; one sister, Jerri Cole Smith; two sisters-in-law, Nelda Martin and Wanda Lindsay; and many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to Summer Meadows and staff, where she made so many special friends.
Memorial contributions may be made to Heart’sWay Hospice, P.O. Box 5608, Longview, TX, 75608.
