Mrs. Margie Jackson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Philippians 1:21-23: 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: On Thursday, August 13, 2020, God dispatched His angel, and summoned our beloved, Mrs. Margie Fisher Jackson, 86, of Petersburg, Virginia, to eternal rest with her Master. Margie was born on December 5, 1933, to Gertrude Fisher and Aubrey Fitzgerald. She was raised by her grandparents, Deacon James and Sally Fisher. Margie also received wisdom from her great grandmother, Lucy Anderson Fisher. Although an only child, she was raised with her aunt, Aileen; her uncles, Jones, Jessie and Jonathan and her cousin, Emma. Margie was educated in the Dinwiddie Public School System. Margie accepted Christ at an early age, and was a lifetime member of her beloved First Baptist Church of McKenney, Virginia. There she learned the love of Jesus Christ, which resulted in her quest to love unconditionally. She loved serving in the Kingdom as Deaconess, Trustee, Usher and singing in the Senior Choir. Margie retired from Central State Hospital after 26 years of service. Her employment history includes: Model Laundry, Lucy Corr Skilled Nursing and Walker's Daycare as a Foster Grandparent sponsored by Crater District Agency on Aging. Margie had many interests as she loved fishing, watching tennis and golf tournaments, as well as wrestling. She also loved to cook and sing. She could be heard singing the songs of Zion in the wee hours of the morning. "In the Garden" was one of the many songs she loved. She sang with the Osbourne Bailey Singers, and was afforded the opportunity to sing with three Benny Hinn Crusade Choirs. Margie was preceded in death by the husband of her youth, Henry "Nick" Jackson and her grandson, Derek Walker, Sr. She leaves to cherish precious memories: her devoted daughter, Marketta Walker of the home; grandson, Larry E. Walker Jr., (Tonise); grandchildren, D'Aysia, Derek Jr., Storry, Kiannah, Larry Ill, Zachery, Zoey, Jaeden, Kemonte, Skyy, and Lea; and she had a great-grandson, Knalij. She also leaves to mourn numerous children from Walker's Daycare, who lovingly called her Grandma Jackson. Margie also leaves her devoted friend/grandson, Micheal "Pee Wee" Cherry; devoted caregiver, Felecia C. Fisher of the home; and friends, Mary Brown, Brenda Johnson and Crystal Lyle; and a host of family members and friends. Special thanks to Amedisys Hospice Care.
