BETTY BAUCUM JACKSON

Betty Baucum Jackson was born in Haynesville, LA as the eighth child of Olive 
Dawson Baucum and William Perry Baucum. After graduation from Newcomb College 
in 1947, she married Jack Tom Jackson with whom she had John Edgar Jackson, 
Jennifer Jackson Moss, Woody Jackson and Amy Jackson Dixon.

Betty B. later attended Florida State University in 1969 to obtain her Master's 
Degree in Library Science. Upon return to Monroe, LA, she served as Library 
Administrator initially for Caldwell Parish and later for Franklin Parish.

Betty B.'s love for her family and friends was always apparent. Having mastered 
the technology of emails, she was known for her constant and frequent 
entertaining communication skills. Her passion for gardening and her yard 
sustained her such that even a week prior to her death, you could drive past 
her Forsythe home and find her weeding and planting in her flower beds. When 
she wasn't gardening, she was enjoying a bridge table with friends or 
entertaining. Her inexhaustible supply of energy and love encouraged all. 
Advice was never withheld! Her sharp mind and her sense of humor will be sorely 
missed.

Betty B. was predeceased by her parents, former husband Jack Tom Jackson, her 
son John Edgar Jackson and all seven siblings of the Baucum Family. She is 
survived by daughters Jenny Jackson Moss (Charlie) and Amy Jackson Dixon as 
well as son Woody Jackson (Laura). She is also survived by grandchildren 
Meredith Moss Christenberry (Daniel), Andrew Moss, Miller Moss, Craig Dixon, 
Katherine Dixon, Christopher Dixon, Margaret Jackson Moses (Brent) and Sandra 
Jackson Codrescu (Lucian). She greatly enjoyed seeing the birth of several 
great-grandchildren; Addison & Emma Moses, Marcus, Joshua & Emily Codrescu and 
most recently Olivia Christenberry, who is named after one of Betty B's 
sisters.

She truly loved her family and they loved her; spending time together in 
Monroe, Denver, Cody, Little Rock and South Carolina whenever possible. Ford 
Pipes, her constant companion for many years, became an integral part of the 
family and deserves special recognition. The family would also like to 
acknowledge her special lifelong bridge group friends.

There will be no graveside services. A memorial service will be held at First 
Presbyterian Church in Monroe, LA on Saturday, August 22, 2015 at 11:00 AM. A 
visitation for family and friends will be held immediately following at 1208 
Forsythe; Monroe, LA.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers a donation be made in memory of 
Betty B. to Franklin Parish Library in Winnsboro, LA. 
www.franklinparishlibrary.org or (318) 435-4336.
