Bobbie Jean Jackson was born January 13, 1961 in New Orleans, LA to Sidney and the late Juanita Jackson. Her mother preceded her in death. Bobbie came to Pontiac in 1966 for a stay with her Uncle J. Elton, who also preceded her in death. After a couple of years, she returned to Tylertown, MS to live with her Uncle Ernest and Aunt Mildred Lewis. Aunt Mildred preceded her in death. Bobbie decided after graduating from high school and working at a child care facility that she wanted to pursue a better life for herself and her daughter, Erica Jackson, so she decided to move back to Pontiac in 1987. Shortly after her return, in 1988, Bobbie began her employment with St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital, first as a Dietary Aide, then transferring to the Nursing Department as a Patient Care Technician, where she remained in good standing with the Hospital for 28 years, until her illness forced her into retirement. Bobbie was an outstanding employee; she never turned down overtime or the needs of the patients that were entrusted to her care. Bobbie had a passion for traveling, good laughter, and having fun. She believed in living life to the fullest and loving all mankind. She had a very contagious smile that if you ever encountered her, you would leave with a feeling of warmth and love. Bobbie was a devout Christian; she loved the Lord with all her heart. She sat under the teaching and ministry of Pastor Earl O. Crump of Door of Faith Christian Church. Bobbie leaves to cherish her memory, children, Erica Jackson of Pontiac, MI and sons, Terence Edgerson, Jr. of Manhattan, NY and Donovan Alexander of Rochester Hills, MI; siblings, Katherine (Anthony) Bridges, Bryon, MS; Wilton (Mayzella) Jackson, Irvington, NJ, Sidney Jackson, Jr., Houston, TX, and Ronald Jackson, Hattiesburg, MS; three beautiful grandchildren; Ethan & Andre Jackson, and Morgan Anna Louis Jackson Spears; aunt, Claris (MC) Gutter of Tylertown, MS; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, and her fur baby Storm (a Tabby cat).
