The second of five siblings, Philip, Elizabeth, Julius, Darrell and Faith, she is survived by her oldest and youngest brothers.
Having taken a summer job with the Good Humor Ice Cream company in 1975, Elizabeth met Carl Jackson as her trainer. They dated fifteen years. In June of 1989, they married. Carl passed by her side on January 1, 2025.
Elizabeth transitioned peacefully only a few months following her husband’s passing, on July 29, 2025.
In lieu of flowers, her brother requests donations be made to local charities supporting women’s causes.
