Glenda Darlene Jackson

Glenda Darlene Denham Jackson of Dawson, Georgia was called home to be with our Lord on Wednesday, July 15, 2026. She was born on October 24,1953 in Albany, Georgia at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital. She was a devoted daughter of God, a loving mother and wife, and a faithful servant.

Darlene lived her life as a true reflection of Christ’s unconditional love. She was physically and spiritually strong, planned for the future without fear, and faced life with confidence. Her hands were always busy serving others, and her heart was a sanctuary of peace and wisdom for everyone who knew her. Whether she was praying for her family, sharing her favorite scriptures, or offering a warm meal and a listening ear, she made everyone feel the grace of God.

Her faith was not just something she spoke about on Sundays; it was the foundation of her everyday life. She taught us how to pray, how to trust in times of trouble, and how to love without limits. Her spiritual legacy will continue to live on in the lives of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and all the souls she touched.

She is preceded in death by: her husband, Charlie Boyd Jackson, daughter, Daphne Josette Jackson, mother, Edwina Denham Drinkwater, and father, Donald Denham.
