Mrs. Henrietta T. Jackson, affectionately known as “Mama Sue,” entered into eternal life on November 22, 2025, at her home, surrounded by her children. Henrietta was born in Bennettsville, SC, on January 29, 1942, to the late Leroy Tillman and Lela Mae Tillman.

She attended Marlboro County Schools. After relocating to High Point, NC, she became employed at Clyde Pearson Furniture Company as a pattern marker. With dedication and skill, she devoted 34 years of her life to this job before retiring. In her retirement, Mama Sue decided to reenter the workforce, this time taking on the rewarding role of a bus driver at the Carl Chavis YMCA until her health declined.

She was a member of Pearson Memorial AME Church, where she faithfully served on various ministries that reflected her commitment to the church, the Missionary Society, Trustee Board, Gospel Choir, Kitchen Committee, Stewardess, and Pastor’s Aid Committee.

In addition to her parents, Mama Sue was preceded in death by her husband, Gilbert Jackson, Sr.; one daughter, Jacqueline Tillman; one sister, Lessie Mack; and three brothers, Pete Tillman, Leonard Tillman, and Samuel Tillman.

She leaves to cherish her memories: one son, Gilbert (Lakisha) Jackson, Jr., of Concord, NC; five daughters, Donna Lyn Jackson of Greensboro, NC; Pamela (Harold) Bullock of Raleigh, NC; Flora Miles of Albermarle, NC; Tracy Glasgow of Richmond, VA and Kamaria Roberts of Jacksonville, FL; one sister, Mary Ruth McIntosh of High Point, NC; three brothers, Hillard Tillman and James Tillman of High Point, NC and John L.
