Mattie (Lynn) Jackson

Collins,

Mattie Estell Lynn Jackson, age 80, passed away on July 27, 2019 at Optim Medical Center Tattnall after a brief illness.  The Tattnall native was raised here until the untimely death of her father.  Following his death, she and her mother moved to Albany, Georgia; where in 1957 she graduated from Albany High School.  Following graduation, she moved to Augusta where she began her life as an adult.  Upon meeting and marrying her 2nd husband, the pair moved back to Collins to retire.   As their health began to decline and they saw the need for assistance they, together, moved into Glenvue Health and Rehabilitation in Glennville.  During her active years, she so enjoyed traveling and dining out.  Additionally, she was always ready to share time with family and friends.  Mattie is preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Estell Brown Lynn; husbands, Rev. James Walter Key and SSGT Otis Jackson, Jr.

She is survived by two stepsons, Otis Walter (Lorna) Jackson and John Jackson; one stepdaughter, Janet Arnold, several nieces and nephews, and other friends she has met along life’s journey.
