Funeral services for Anita Jackson, of Lufkin will be September 22, 2019, in the Carroway Funeral Home Chapel. Interment will follow in the Garden of Memories Memorial Park Cemetery.
Mrs. Jackson was born to the late Artie (Echart) and Horace Thurman. She had resided in Lufkin since 1960.
Mrs. Jackson, also known as Mimi, loved many things in life. God and family is at the top of that list. Laughter was a close second. Anyone who knew Anita well can probably still hear her boisterous laugh! She also enjoyed traveling and adventure. She didn’t hesitate when her husband, Billy, announced he wanted to buy a motorcycle at age 65. With matching jackets and helmets, they traveled the country with their Christian motorcycle “gang”. She was a volunteer at Memorial Medial Center for many years. She was also an avid golfer and wonderful cook. Mrs. Jackson was a member of Lufkin First United Methodist Church.
Survivors include her sons and daughters-in-law, Ronnie and Gayle Jackson, Ricky and Annette Jackson; daughter and son-in-law, Brenda and H.C. Walker; granddaughters and husbands, Leigh and Chris Hughes, Rhonda and Tom Bellm, Beth and Jason Carr, Jennifer and Jordan Ross; grandsons and wives, Bruce and Jan Walker, Kevin and Paly Jackson; 16 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and niece, Becky Jones.
