Her presence was a source of encouragement, and she had a way of making those around her feel valued and cared for.

She leaves to cherish her memories a daughter, Rhasheedah Jackson; three grandchildren, Shaquilla Jackson, Edrick Campbell, Jr., and Asya Campbell; and two great-grandchildren, Chosen and Charm Campbell.
