Dear Friends and Family,

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Grandmother Betty Jackson on September 4th, 2025.

my grandmother was a kind, vibrant soul who touched everyone she met, and her absence leaves a profound void in our lives.

We are heartbroken by her loss and want to honor her memory by attending her funeral service, which will be held in East Moline, Illinois and unfortunately, as a family, we are struggling with the unexpected cost of travel to Illinois from Columbia, South Carolina. The expenses for rental car, and accommodation for our family are simply beyond our means right now.

We have started a GoFundMe to help cover the travel costs so we can be there to say goodbye to my grandmother. The funds will go directly towards purchasing fa rental and securing hotel rooms for our family.

You can support us by donating to our fundraiser here. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be a tremendous help and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your love, support, and for helping us honor my grandmother’s life.

With love, The Jackson Family
