Celebration of life will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Saturday, March 1, 2025, at Watson & Sons Funeral Home in Center.
Born November 27, 1962, in Shelby County, Jackie is the daughter of Buvis “Earl” Wright and Linda May Wright. A devoted mother, she loved and lived for her family. Her children and grandchildren meant the world to her. Jackie frequently prepared meals for her family, often expressing that it was the most she could contribute to them. She enjoyed gardening and took pride in growing beautiful rose bushes. Jackie was certain that her conversations with her roses accelerated their growth.
She was goofy, loved to sing, and enjoyed a good joke. Jackie didn’t mind speaking her mind. She had a selfless personality and her job as a caretaker came natural to her. Jackie accepted the Lord as her Savior at an early age and was a faithful member of East Hamilton Missionary Baptist Church most of her life. She and her family sang many specials for revivals and special meetings over the years.
