Poulson Bolden Jackson, 61, devoted husband, father, Pop Pop and friend, departed this earth on March 7th, 2017 in Atlanta, GA. He was born on July 20, 1955 in Coatesville, PA, and the son of the late Betty Morton and Paul Leslie Jackson. In addition to his parents, Poulson was preceded in death by his beloved sister Carol Farmer and brother Kenneth Jackson.

Poulson is survived by his loving wife, Wilma Jackson of Decatur, GA, his children, Paul Thompson, Lisa Jackson, Kellen Jackson, Akeeya Alexander, his stepchildren Marcus Langley, Allen Garland and Marcedes Holiday (Damien), his sisters Donna Draper (David), Valerie White, Mildred Jackson, Jessie LaMotte; brother, Jesse Morton,11 grandchildren-who he absolutely adored, his nieces and nephews-who he treated like his own children, and a host of loving family and friends.
Poulson Jackson would want nothing more than a celebration of his life and all of the people that loved him to participate in celebration. Let's allow his presence to light up a room one final time at 11 AM, Friday, March 17, 2017 at Wilde Funeral Home, 434 Main Street, Parkersburg, PA, with a viewing from 9 until 11 AM.
The Family would like to thank the staff at Wilde Funeral Home and Levitt Funeral Home for their services.

On March 2nd I was forunate enough to engage in a telephone conversation with Mackey and reminisce about growing up on the Row and in Parkesburg. We laughed and joked and his spirits were high. Mackey truly understood and appreciated how the experience shaped our choices and our lives.

Please accept my heartfelt
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My heart goes out to your family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God's Word refers to death as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, will remove death once and for all ( Rev 21:4) and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth. (Acts 24:15)

To Betty's Crew, Family Members and Friends,
My condolences to each of you. I know Mackey is having a great time praising the Lord. I am reminded ot a favorite scripture: "I will bless the Lord at all times, His Praise shall continually be in my mouth" Psalm 34:1 Dr. Maya Angelou tells us....."If you only have one smile in you give it to the people you love".Smile on Mackey and thanks for giving me one of those smiles!
From my heart, I love you all and will be praying for you!
