Margaret will be remembered by many residents in Starkville, Mississippi from the J. C. Penney Company where she retired in 2001. Margaret and her husband, Roy, were devoted members of Calvary Baptist Church over fifty years, where she was a member of the Friendship Sunday School Class. Her interests included gardening, cooking for her family, and talking to the Lord daily. In her last few years, she thrived under Jan's care and was happy and content in her familiar environment. She spent her days watching American Pickers (over and over) with Jan's Chihuahua's Winston, Martini, and Petie snuggled in her lap.

Survivors include two daughters, Marsha (Joe) Myers and Jan Jackson Fitzgerald of Starkville, Mississippi; three loving grandchildren, Amanda Myers (Josh) Thompson of Collinsville, Mississippi, Sam (Ashley) Myers of Oxford, Mississippi, and Rachel Fitzgerald (Josh) Poppelreiter of Mantee, Mississippi; seven great-grandchildren; and her sister, Belle Keller.

She is preceded in death by her parents, L. D. Prisock and Annie V. Gentry; husband Roy L. Jackson, Sr.; and son, Roy L. Jackson, Jr.
