Family and Friends
I look at all I have done. I had wandered aimlessly, And wondered what I have become. I have been through so much. It is amazing I made it through. Lessons I have learned. I am shocked I pulled through. We try to make it day by day, Remembering what we were taught. Just remember some time to pray. It is important; We need it every day. Remember who you are And who you want to become. The time can be short. Don't leave things undone. Remember your families, They are the only ones you've got To carry you in times of need. They cannot be bought. Remember they love you, Either here or there. They will always be with us, Help for things to bear.
We, the family of Nellie Faye Jackson, wish to thank each of you for the many acts of kindness rendered during the illness and passing of our loved one, May God bless all of you with many prayers of thanks. Bostick-Tompkins Funeral Home 2930 Colonial Drive Columbia, South Carolina 29203

For I am ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Final Farewell to Our Beloved Nellie ........................... Bostick-Tompkins Staff Hymn of Praise ........................................................................... “Let Go and Let God” Prayer of Comfort ................................................................................ Vanard Jackson Solo ..................................................................................................... “I Won’t Complain” Mrs. Nellie Fay Jackson was born October 5, 1939 in Kershaw County, South Carolina. She was the daughter of the late Joe and Kallie Ford Sims. On Thursday March 23, 2017, she departed her earthly journey to be with the Lord. Nellie was an intelligent, hardworking woman as a homemaker. She also shared lots of laughter with others. Early on, she worked for some years as a home caregiver, until she became disabled, and much of her illness took over. She was a loyal member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Church (LDS). Her life lessons about family will be greatly missed. Nellie was the wife of George Moes Jackson, Jr., who preceded her in death. She was also predeceased by her son, Keith Stanley McCluster, and daughter, Sarah Keller. She leaves to cherish her fond memories: her sons: George (Cynthia) Jackson, III, Curtis (Philish) Hollings and Nathan Prevard; daughters, Mildred (Ben) Jones and Kim Ellis; three loving brothers: Joe (Ernestine) Sims, Jr., John (Martha) M. Sims and David (Sallie) Sims; a dear son-in-law, Joe E. Waymyers; ; nineteen grandchildren and many great grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and caring friends, all of whom will miss her dearly.
