The 1930s, a time period that marked the Great Depression, birth of swing jazz, and roaring popularity of radio entertainment and a time when a true star was born in the small town of Lugoff, South Carolina. Margie Jackson Sterner came into our world September 30,1934 and will always be a bright light in the hearts of her husband of 64 years, son, daughter, and 5 grandchildren. An avid reader and Willie Nelson super fan, Margie enjoyed the simple things in life such as spending time with her treasured family and friends, shopping, traveling, and relaxing at the beach. Her endless energy paired with a clever sense of humor, and a touch of sass always set her apart. Our star became an angel on February 1, 2019.

Margie's life will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 at Dallas Forth Worth National Cemetery located at 2000 Mountain Creek Pkwy, Dallas, TX 75211.

Preceded in death by her parents, Kitty Ray and George Jackson and beloved brother Jimmie Jackson Sr. and his wife Ruth.

Her adored grandchildren include Sarah Sterner and her fiancé Steven Burdeaux, Joseph Sterner and his wife Melisa, Claire Hasley and her husband Bryan, Chloe Lillie, and Collin Lillie.
