These are just a few of the many ways Twanda White Jackson will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.

On July 4, 2026, while many celebrated freedom across the nation, Twanda experienced the ultimate freedom as she was called from labor to reward and entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior. While her absence leaves an ache in our hearts, we rejoice knowing that her faith has become sight and her earthly struggle has given way to eternal victory.

Born on July 10, 1981, to William Taylor White, Sr. and Priscilla Lee Thompson, Twanda was a vibrant light from the very beginning. She possessed a joyful spirit, an unforgettable laugh, and a distinctive high-pitched voice that instantly brought smiles to those around her. She never met a stranger and had a remarkable gift for turning acquaintances into lifelong friends.

Twanda accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at First Missionary Baptist Church in White Hall, AL. As her spiritual journey continued, she united with Second Missionary Baptist Church, now known as Church of Demonstration.

Following her marriage, she joined New Beginnings Christian Church, where she faithfully served alongside her husband as the church's First Lady.

A proud graduate of Central High School's Class of 2000, Twanda later earned certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). She began her career at Orchard Healthcare, later served at Baptist South Hospital, worked as Office Manager for Clearwater Solutions/Perry County Water Authority where she met her husband, Bishop Glenn Jackson, and later became Head Receiving Specialist with Drummond Company (Perry Supply, Inc.).

She was united in holy matrimony to Bishop Glenn Jackson  and together they built a life centered on faith, love, family, and service to God's people.

Of all her accomplishments, nothing brought Twanda greater joy than her family.

To her husband, she was a devoted wife, faithful partner, and steadfast source of love and support. To her children, she was a loving mother. To her granddaughter, she was a proud and devoted grandmother. To her parents, she was a cherished daughter. To her siblings, she was a beloved sister and source of strength. To her church family, she was a faithful First Lady, servant leader, and example of grace and faith. To her nieces and nephews, she was the comical aunt. To her aunts and uncles, she was the dependable niece. To her cousins, she was the adventurous cousin. To her friends, she was a treasured friend.

Twanda loved shopping, traveling, singing, spending time with family, and cheering on her favorite sports teams. A devoted Alabama fan, she never missed an opportunity to proclaim, 'Roll Tide!' She enjoyed wings, ribs, soul food, crab boils, and red velvet cake.

One of Twanda's greatest testimonies was not simply how she lived, but how she fought. Throughout her illness, she continued to smile, encourage others, and uplift those around her. While many prayed for healing, Twanda ultimately received the greatest healing of all. Her earthly battle ended in victory, and she entered the presence of the One she trusted throughout her life.

"We didn't lose her; she isn't a loss. When God has gained His earthly child, it's always a win. The battle has been won, and we have the victory."

Twanda was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents, Clarence and Carlean Lee, Sr., Willie Joe White, and Gardenia Steele White.

Twanda leaves to cherish her precious memory her loving husband, Bishop Glenn Jackson; her beloved children, Jaiden White and Jermyah Pettway; her cherished granddaughter, Jahlani Jadoire White; her parents, William Taylor White, Sr. and Priscilla (Otto) Lee Thompson; her sisters, Jacquelyn White Sullivan, Tenesha (Michael) Chestang, Christie (LaVenta') Young, Cheryl (Dwayne) Peterson, and Sequoyah (Lee) Maxwell; and her brothers, William (Kamelah) White, Jr. and Darryl (Tiffany) White.

She also leaves her additional siblings, Natasha (Marcus) Brooks, Otto (Patsy) Thompson, Jr., Angela (Antonious) Smith, Angelo Thompson, and Bobby (Stephanie) Thompson; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Doris (Leo) Curry, Deborah Faye Davis, Andre (Carolyn) Tubbs, and Angela Sattewhite; ten nieces, six nephews, five great-nieces, one great-nephew, three beloved godchildren, Jailyn Tate, Harper Lucas, and Saige Lucas; a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and special friends.

Though her voice may be silent, the memories she created and the joy she shared will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. "Don't Make Me Cry, Whitehall!"
