- Patricia Ann Jackson aka 'Pattycake', 'Miss Pat', passed away on Thursday morning, July 26, 2018 at the Morgan County Life Care Center in Wartburg.
She received her BS Degree in Education from the University of Tennessee while teaching, taking care of her home, her husband and raising her three daughters. All the while, keeping up with her church activities at Middle Creek Baptist Church where she was a devoted member.
Mom was a master storyteller and a poet as well as an artist. She taught several grades in elementary school during her tenure at Coalfield School. Her last seven years were spent as art teacher. Miss Pat was dearly loved by her students for her kind and caring heart. She had a strong desire to teach, but also to care and nurture the kids she was allowed to spend each day with. She was busy at the school, always decorating for school functions such as proms, banquets and other activities. On holidays and summer breaks, our house was the place to be! She would let kids hang out and play, not worrying about a messy house, just so everyone had fun! She would be right in the middle of it! Mom had a heart of love and was the most humble person you could ever meet.
Mom was preceded in death by her parents, Edgar and Ora (Brown) Jackson; brother, Joseph Kesterson; sister and brother-in-law, Iva Dean and Gene French; and father and mother-in-law, Welch and Irene Jackson.
She is survived by her three daughters, Vickie McPeters and husband, Rod of Nashville, Rhonda Jackson of Coalfield and Donna Bumbalough of Oliver Springs; grandchildren, Aaron Jones, Matt (Mitzi) Jones, Leslie (Darrell) Gignilliat, Whitney (Brian) Lewis, Lindsay Parks, Tallie Cullity and Chris (Sandra) Bumbalough, Lynora (Andrew) Tidwell and Lance (Jessica) McPeters; great-grandchildren, Brock and Maggie, Arthur and Kingston, Isai, Aylen and Gideon, Miles, Beckett and Noah; loving friends, Don and Madge Jackson, Joann Wormsley and many more wonderful friends, nieces, nephews, cousins.
