Nancy Sue Jackson, age 71, of Anna, IL, born on July 18, 1951 in East St. Louis, IL, died on Friday, September 30, 2022 at St. Francis Medical Center, Cape Girardeau, MO.
Nancy worked in housekeeping services at JR Center in Anna, IL. She competed in the Special Olympics and medaled in track and basketball. Nancy had a beautiful soul, and we will miss her fun-loving and witty personality. She was very generous with her hugs and kisses and could always make you laugh. She loved Elvis, Michael Jackson, and country music. Nancy made the best of a life full of challenges – she was one of a kind.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Stanley K., and Betty Jean, nee Curtis, Cox.
Nancy is survived by her sisters, Liz (Bob) Hemmer of Fairview Heights, IL, and Candace Batton (Aaron Zapfe) of Freeburg, IL, and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
