On November 15, 1960, Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Jackson, Sr. were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Bettie Ann Jackson. Bettie accepted Christ at an early age and united with the Mt. Hillard Missionary Baptist Church in Union Springs, AL. She received her education in the Bullock County Public School System, and was a graduate of the Bullock County High School Class of 1979.

Bettie was employed with the Welsh Company in Union Springs, AL for several years. She was a fun-spirited person who enjoyed life to the fullest. During her earlier years, her favorite sport to play was softball where she was known as being one of the best shortstops. She also enjoyed fishing, gardening and farming.
