   Dessie  Mae  Hicks Jackson, 91, was born March 18, 1908, to Mack Henry
   and Maude (Clemons) Hicks, who resided in Council Hill. "Mama Mae," as
   she  was  lovingly called, passed away on Thursday, March 18, 1999, at
   Muskogee  Regional  Medical  Center. She lived most of her life around
   the  Council  Hills  area, and had cooked for the school for six years
   before  moving  to  Odessa,  Texas, to work for the Scott Theaters and
   Plains  Drive-In  for 22 years until retirement. "Mama Mae" then moved
   back to Checotah, where she resided for 27 years. Words cannot express
   what  a  loving  and wonderful mother she was. Her love and generosity
   have touched many lives as her heart and home housed everyone.
   
   Survivors  are  her  children; Boots and Wallace Scott, Odessa, Texas,
   Mack and Karen Jackson, Pasadena, Texas, June and Ovid King, Checotah,
   Okla.,  Lawton  and  Kim  Jackson,  Spring,  Texas,  Thomas  and Linda
   Jackson,  Houston;  19 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren; sisters,
   Hazel  Franklin,  Grace  Lemon and Shirley Paden, all of Council Hill,
   and Inez Holland of Morris, Okla.; and a host of nieces and nephews.
   
   Mrs.  Jackson  was  preceded  in  death by her parents, Mack Henry and
   Maude   Hicks;  sister,  Lena  Parks,  Odessa;  brothers,  Tom  Hicks,
   Savannah, Ga., Perry Hicks and Gibson Hicks, both of Council Hill.
   
   Services were held Sunday, March 21, 1999, at 2:30 p.m. in the Council
   Hill  Methodist Church with the Rev. Larry Haggard and Mack A. Jackson
   officiating.  Burial  was  held  at Council Hill Cemetery. Pallbearers
   were her children.
