Juanita Joan (Huffard) Jackson passed away at the age of 85 on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

She was born in Brosley, MO, on August 13, 1939, and spent 36 years in Chattanooga before moving to Lebanon for the last 24 years of her life.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William (Bill) Jackson, her parents, Elza and Beulah Huffard, and other immediate family, Bob Evridge, and Joel Baxley.

Mrs. Jackson is survived by her three children, Becky Kegley (Billy), Dale Jackson, Nancy Baxley, grandchildren, Matt Kegley (Kelli), Brent Easley (Rachel), Kyle Kegley (Allison), April Moseley (Josh), Taylor Jackson, Sarah Baxley, Maddy Baxley, Katie Evridge, and Rebecca Givens (Patrick). She was great-grandmother to Connor Kegley, Cade Kegley, Camille Kegley, Rowen Easley, Isla Easley, Jude Moseley, Haddie Moseley, Jack Kegley, and Robert Givens.

Mrs. Jackson graduated from the University of Tennessee at the age of 53 with a degree in psychology. She then went on to work for the Tennessee Department of Children Services as a champion for children and families.

Mrs. Jackson and her husband had a special heart for orphaned and abandoned children. Their home was often a refuge for foster children. She was a life long member of the church of Christ and in her Lebanon years worshiped with the College Hills congregation. Her faith since a small child and the focus on living as God would want her to shaped both her life and her death. In her later years she was eager to go home to be with Jesus.

Visitation with the family will be held on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Partlow Funeral Chapel from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. with a brief service at 1:00. Interment will follow at the Cookeville City Cemetery.
