Deloris Weaver Jackson, 89, heard her Savior's call on Saturday, November 7, 2020, at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo. A fall resulting in severe head trauma along with a broken hip hastened the fulfillment of her desire to be with her Savior and her husband who departed this life August, 15 2019.

Deloris was born September 25, 1931, to Orin Russell Weaver and Willie Rosetta Gilliland in Pittsboro, MS. She grew up in Aberdeen and was a 1950 graduate of Aberdeen High School. While in school, she worked as a cashier and performed alterations for J C Penney in Aberdeen. She married her sweetheart Grover Jackson in March 1950 and soon after found herself following him throughout his time in service to Texas, Montana, and Florida. After the war, they made their home in Birmingham, AL.

Homesick for family and friends, they moved back to Aberdeen in 1960 and joined Friendship Baptist Church, where they remained faithful members until her husband's failing health prevented their regular attendance. Over the years, she served in many roles in the church, but her favorite was working with young children in the nursery and Beginner's Sunday School Class. She spent many hours preparing crafts and teaching children songs about Jesus.

For almost 30 years, she was the office manager for Jackson's Heating and Cooling, a business she and her husband owned. Ever the Proverbs 31 woman, she was a devoted wife and mother; a private person who relished time spent being a homemaker. She treasured time with family and was an excellent cook, accomplished seamstress and quilter. She was industrious and busied herself working with her flowers and vegetable garden, canning and freezing her bounty for family and friends and harvesting honey from the family hives. Researching the family genealogy was one of her favorite hobbies.
