Obituary For Henrietta Jackson
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. (Gussie) Tillman of Bennettsville, SC; two sisters-in-law, Fannie Tillman and Linda McIntyre; sixteen grandchildren; twenty-seven great grandchildren; five great-great grandchildren; bonus daughters, April Steed and Kedra Rogers; special friends, Netter Little, Mary Jacobs, Mary Hall and Julia Jackson and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Funeral service will be held Saturday, November 29, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. at Solid Rock Baptist Church. Interment will follow at Guil-Rand Memorial Park. The family will receive friends at the church from 1:30 p.m. until 2:00 p.m.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your mother Mrs Sue. Such a wonderful woman through and through, A warm smile with a loving heart. May you find comfort in the cherished moments you shared together, and may her memories bring you peace. Sending love and prayers- Jacobs family
Don't think of Mrs.Sue as gone away Her journey's just begun, Life holds so many facets This earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting From the sorrows and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort Where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing That we could know today How nothing but our sadness Can really pass away.
And think of her as living In the hearts of those She touched For nothing loved is ever lost And Mrs. Sue was loved so much. Sending Prayers to the families. Sincerely Douglas Family
My Heartfelt Condolences to The Family and Friends R.I.P Mama Sue we all Love you Near and Far But God Loves you Best!!!!Take your Rest Sweet Lady❤️🙏🏽❤️

My sincere condolences to the Jackson family. Mama Sue was the absolute epitome of love and sacrificial spirit. She loved on everyone she encountered. I was blessed that she called me her daughter and my husband her boy. She loved unconditionally, without judgement. Mama Sue will be missed. Thank God for no more pain and suffering. Watch over us until we meet again. Love Faye Parker & Family
My condolences to the family - she loved you all so much and you honored her in all ways. I was honored to know Mama Sue and know she is in a better place with no pain now and that my Phil hugged her into heaven. God planned the timing so I could see her one last time Friday as I was in the area.
