Story
On Friday, April 11th, our dearest mother, Shirl Lynn Carson Jackson made her transition. As a family, we are navigating a devastating loss, but we’re also honoring her legacy by continuing the love and care she poured into all of us every single day. Especially BreAnn, whom she was the full time caretaker. Most impacted is our sister Bre, who has special needs and was cared for full-time by our mom. Many of you have asked how you can support. In lieu of flowers, we’ve created this page to help support Bre in tangible, ongoing ways. Whether through gift cards for meals and essentials, or donations to help ease the unexpected financial weight of this transition. Your love is deeply felt. Your support is deeply appreciated. Your grace, as we figure this all out in real time: means the world. Thank you for your kindness and please continue to keep us in your prayers. -
Special Notes
Gift cards help us maintain a sense of normalcy for Bre as she adjusts to this new reality. If you'd prefer to contribute directly to her care fund, we’ve included those options as well. - Celebration of life for Shirl Lynn Carson Jackson Funeral - Friday, April 25th, 2025 Prepast - 10am Wake - 11am Service - 12noon Place - Christ Temple Cathedral 62 W 111th Pl, Chicago, IL 60628 Burial - 2pm (details to be announced) ***Repast at Christ Temple Cathedral following the burial*** - Public Visitation - Thursday April 24th, 2025 Time - 6pm to 8pm Place - Leak & Sons Funeral Homes 18400 Pulaski Rd, Country Club Hills, IL 60478 - All gifts of love kindly accepted Kindly spread this announcement to her community of loved ones ❤️🕊️
