With a nourishing spirit and kind heart, she had a knack for caring for others. This led her to work sitting with and caring for the sick and elderly. In later years her family moved to Savannah, GA. Florence continued working within her passion. She helped raise and care for many children to include nieces, nephews, cousins grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was united in Holy Matrimony to Mr. John Jackson, Sr, in 1957. This union was blessed with eight children. Mr. John Jackson, Sr. preceded her in death on December 15, 1992.
