Shirley Jackson Obituary

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Sister Shirley Ann Jackson was born in Hampton County, South Carolina on April 19,1955 to the late Julius Atkins Sr. and Albertha Atkins.
Her family and friends affectionally called her “Shirl” or “Cat”. She was educated in the Hampton County public school system.
