Glenda Faye Davis Jackson, age 69 of Wilmar, went to be with her Lord and Savior Friday, December 28, 2021, at Drew Memorial Hospital in Monticello, AR. She was born September 22, 1952, in Cotton Plant, AR to the union of the late Robert Forrest Davis and Elnora Wafford Davis.
She was the youngest of four children. In 2007, Glenda joined Mt. Tabor Baptist Church where she served as Sunday School Secretary, Youth Sunday School teacher and Deaconess. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by a brother, Forest Davis; a sister, Faustiane Davis; and a son, Curley L. Jackson, Jr.
She attended school and graduated from Coleman High School, then went on to college at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff where she majored in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. She didn’t stop her education there; she received her Masters degree at SAU Magnolia. She then worked in education for over 40 years before her retirement. After her retirement, her favorite hobby remained in the science field reading many books and articles on a daily basis. Even though she is no longer with us, she will live on in every student’s life that she touched.
