Lethia”, affectionately known as “Ann” by family and friends, was one of the most generous, kindhearted, loving, hugging, and kissing individuals anyone could ever meet. She always had a smile on her face, never met a stranger, and she knew how to compliment others. She forever had something kind to say to everyone, and always said something that would make you laugh or smile. She genuinely loved and cared about people, and often ministered to them whether it was in the grocery store, parking lot, mall, restaurant, at work or wherever. She was preceded in death by her son, Takeshi E. “Keith” Jackson; her parents, Arthur James Winston and Ella Mae Flournoy Jackson Bailey; her brother, Oscar James “Buck” Jackson; sister, Annie Faye Peyton and grandparents, Nathan and Carrie Flournoy.
Lethia Ann leaves to cherish her memories: one sister, Linda Jackson, Lanett, AL; one brother, Oscar Charles (Lanita) Winston, Atlanta, GA; aunts, Sarah Woody, Linda Flournoy, Lanett, AL; uncles, Tommy Lee Woody, Roosevelt (Louise) Flournoy, Bobby (Christine) Jackson, Lanett, AL; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives and friends.
To the family, May Jehovah the God of love give you the needed strength to endure throughout this difficult time. We all long for the day when death will be no more. May you all find hope in Revelations 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
