Judith Ann (Judy) Jackson, age 69 died of pancreatic cancer on March 19th in St. Vincent Hospital in Little Rock. She was a native of Waldo, Arkansas and was born on July 31, 1943, the daughter of the late John Samuel Jackson and Gladys Burchfield Jackson (Gleason). She lived in Waldo, Magnolia, or Little Rock most of her life. She was a Social Worker who retired from the State of Arkansas. Her last assignment with the state was as a Hospice worker.
Judy is survived by her son, Samuel R. Jackson who is a second year Medical Student at UAMS. Sam spent the last two years helping care for his mother while also meeting the rigorous demands of medical school. In this he was also assisted by the staff at the Woodland Hills Nursing Home, Hospice of Arkansas and the doctors and staff of the UAMS and St. Vincent Hospital. Sam and the family would like to thank all of them for their professional and kind care of his mother during her illness.

She held the Master's degree in Gerontology from North Texas State University and the Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
