Laurie Ann Jackson

Laurie Martin Jackson, born on July 4th 1966, passed away peacefully on May 10th, 2026 at age 59. She was born and raised in Gardendale, Alabama, and formally resided in Round Rock, Texas alongside her husband of 23 years.

She was a devoted Christian who loved spending her mornings with prayer time, and reading her daily devotions. She attended Gardendale First Baptist Church for 30+ years and 20+ years at Great Hills Baptist Church, and was apart of the church choir for both. She was a lover of the arts, including movies, books, and theatre. She enjoyed traveling, especially to the beach and amusement parks. She was a crafty person who loved to crochet, and make jewelry, and she rocked every piece she ever made.

She loved her family deeply. Her husband, David Allen Jackson, her sisters, Julie Martin Robertson (husband Jeffery Robertson), Jennifer Martin Watson (husband Greg Watson) and her nieces, Bailey Robertson, MacKynzie Kennedy (husband Ethan Kennedy; River Kennedy) and Kylie Watson. She survived along side them until she took her last breath on Earth, following her first breath in Heaven.

She was proceeded in death by her father Roy L. Martin and her mother Anne Simmons Martin.

Though her absence will forever leave a void that cannot be filled, her love, laughter, and infectious smile will live on in all who knew and loved her.

Services to honor her life will be held at Gardendale Ridout's Funeral Home on Thursday, May 14th 2026 at 3:00pm. The family will receive guests for hour prior to service time. Burial will be at Oakwood Memorial Garden.
