Jane Marie Currin Jackson, 89, of Mooresville, N.C., peacefully went to be with her Lord and Savior on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at home surrounded by her loving family.
Jane was born May 26, 1936, in Olivia, N.C., daughter of the late Ernest L. and Hallie Hart Currin. She grew up on the family farm with her nine older siblings. Jane was a cheerleader and basketball player while attending Ben Haven High School. After graduation, she attended Lees-McRae College, where she met the love of her life, Ray, and graduated with an Associate of Arts. Jane furthered her education as an Accredited Record Technician and worked at Lowrance Hospital in medical records for 20 years.
She was a member of Mooresville First Baptist Church, where she loved attending her Sunday School Class, The Kingdom Seekers. She taught Sunday School, Training Union and was a member of the XYZ choir.
Our mom loved hosting the family at home and cooking big meals. She especially liked to cook a big Sunday lunch that we all enjoyed after church. She loved going to the beach and traveling all over the country with family and loved celebrating Christmas at home and Thanksgiving and July 4th at the beach.
One of her greatest joys was being called Mawmaw to her grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her beloved sisters, Wilma Moore, Doris Hayes and Betty Russell; and brothers, Edwin, Frank, Roland, Ernest Jr., Beverly and Irvin Currin.
Jane is survived by her loving husband of 68 years, Ray E. Jackson; daughters, Alison Martin (Wayne) of Huntersville, Maria Lowe of Steilacoom, Wash., and son, Eugene Jackson (Sheila) of Matthews.
