PINKIE
WILSON JACKSON Born - Febuary 22, 1912 Died - March 15, 1964 The Matriarch of the Jackson Family! Pinkie was the child of Chloria (Cora) Smith and Robert Wilson. She married Collie Jackson in 1924. In December 22, 1924,
she gave birth to her first child, Herbert Ceciel. Which was the beginning of
the Jackson Family, giving birth to: Collie Jr, George F, Lenora Laverne, Walter
Leon, Gloria, Edward, Charles and Clarence. Pinkie will be gone 50 years as we prepare
for the Family Reunion in Dallas, Texas. She is buried at Evergreen Cemetery
in Marlin, Texas, plot no. 771, without a headstone! That is now my passion,
to put a headstone on Pinkie's grave. That may not be important to some people,
but it is to me! The reason is my Father, Herbert Ceciel, the first child. He loved his mother and she loved him! The
only time Pinkie left Texas was to travel to California to see him in 1957 after he almost died. When he left Texas to join the Navy, he had
to trick Aunt Bee, her sister, to sign the papers. For the next 10 years he made
sure an allotment from the Navy was sent to his mother in Texas. When she passed
in 1964, he was there, he wanted to put a headstone there, but did not have the Money!
I plan on fulfilling his wishes prior to the next reunion. I'm going to
"Pay it Forward and Backwards". I received most of this information from,
Milton and Mary Jean Goodin, Marlin, Dorothy and Annie Mae Wilson and of course from Geraldine M. Jackson. I appreciate and thank them for their assistance in telling me about my Father and Grandmother. If you knew her or have any stories about her, please share them with me and the family! I know she loved her Church, was a devout and serious woman. She
was president of the choir and a Sunday school teacher. She served as secretary
of the church for over 35 years. When I look at her picture, I see the saddest
eyes from a beautiful woman! I only have one story about her that I will
share now. I was about 3 or 4, Daddy had brought his kids to Marlin to visit
his mother. At the breakfast table one morning, I was pretty hungry, I eat everything on the plate and wanted more and started
hollering. Pinkie told me to be quiet, so I pick up the plate and threw it against
the wall! The plate broke, and Pinkie made sure my butt kept it company! That was my first wupping, I never threw another plate. Let's remember Pinkie, she deserves
the recognition. It's
