“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1 

Our beloved, Mildred Ann Smith Jackson was a light in this world, living as a beacon of Christ’s love. Through her humility and unwavering trust in the Lord, she touched countless lives. Mildred found joy in service, guided by Philippians 1:21, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Though we mourn her earthly absence, we rejoice knowing Mildred is now at peace in the presence of the Lord, and her legacy of faith will continue to inspire us all. 

Mildred was born on October 25, 1942, in Darlington, South Carolina to her loving parents, Moses and Hattie Smith. She made her earthly transition Friday, September 5, 2025. 

Mildred was educated in Darlington County in Rosenwald public schools located in Society Hill, South Carolina. She worked in home health care where she found joy in taking care of others.
