In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by a brother, Forest Davis; a sister, Faustiane Davis; and a son, Curley L. Jackson, Jr.
She attended school and graduated from Coleman High School, then went on to college at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff where she majored in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. She didn't stop her education there; she received her Masters degree at SAU Magnolia. She then worked in education for over 40 years before her retirement. After her retirement, her favorite hobby remained in the science field reading many books and articles on a daily basis.
