Evelyn Deaver Jackson, 97, of Oak Ridge, went to be with her Lord on Sunday, October 22, 2017 at Methodist Medical Center.
She was an amazing soul, you could say, she never met a stranger.
Her main focus in life was taking care of her family and sharing and witnessing the gospel to everyone she met.

She was a stay at home mom taking care of her family.
She enjoyed vacations with family, reading, QVC, and gospel music, along with God’s word. She loved talking and witnessing to people, sharing her life and God’s word.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by husband Woodrow Jackson Sr; sister, Vivian Adams; sons, Woodrow Jackson Jr., and William David Jackson.
She is survived by son, John Russell Jackson and wife Wanda and their daughter Wendy Jackson; daughter-in-law, Joyce Oxford Jackson and her children, Kim Bennett and husband Pete and their children, Josh, Kara and son Nathan and Anna; Gaye Hembree and husband Jason; several nieces and nephews, including Kay Adams, Penny Cox, Ann Austin, Alexa Schlimmer, Dennis Adams, Vicki Morton and Jackie Roberts.
