ETHER JACKSON
Beck Volunteer
Ether Jackson lives a within the Beck community. She drives every other week to volunteer for six to eight hours at Beck. She organizes, sorts, copies and archives obituaries of every African American that passes away in our community. These records are important as they contain helpful genealogical information. Perhaps most important, these records bear witness to all the great people who passed this way. They are in the Beck archives, and never to be forgotten. Ms. Jackson will turn 100 years old, Christmas Eve 2020.
