Zoey Neriah Jackson passed away on July 22, 2018.
She lived each day with love and compassion for others. Zoey was a caring, silly baby who loved coloring and spending time outdoors. She also loved Minnie Mouse, Frozen, and her older sister Hailey. She looked up to her cousin Kolby like a big brother. Together the three of them were a force to be reckoned with. Zoey lived each day with strength and joy. Witnessing this strength kept our faith strong; she fought each day like a warrior.
She is survived by her parents, Terence Jackson and Candace Shahan; siblings, Hailey Shahan and Kolby Silvers; grandparents, Rodney (Terrie) Cartwright, Scotty (Melissa) Ash and Steve (Zina) Jackson; great-grandparents, William (Nancy) Stevens, Myrtle Hayes and Christine Cartwright;
aunts and uncles, Dereke (Lauren) Silvers, Eric (Wendy) Cartwright, Matt and Amy Ash, and Calearetta Hayes.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, July 26, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at Turner Funeral Home. The funeral will follow at 2 p.m. in the Turner Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Calvin White officiating. Zoey will be laid to rest in Lakewood East Cemetery.
The family has requested in Zoey’s memory for donations to be made to: St. Jude Children’s Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, Tn. 38105.
