Sylvia Vincent Jackson

Sylvia Vincent Jackson, age 82, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, January 28, 2024 at Amorem. She was born in Greenville, NC on March 6, 1941 to the late Samuel Joseph Vincent and Lorena Sullivan Vincent.

Sylvia graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Nursing in 1963 and enjoyed many areas of nursing, especially her time working with Hospice. Her former classmates remained close after 60 years and even up until recently she made it known that these close classmates were her sisters. She loved to lead Bible studies in each of the churches she was part of. Sylvia had an adventurous spirit and loved to travel. She and her late husband, David, lived in Alleghany County for 30 years and the friendships made there remained important to her.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, David Roi Jackson.

Those left to cherish her memory are daughter Leslie Johnson and husband, Bryan; step-daughter Lyra Prickett and husband Derek; step-son Lawton Jackson; grandsons Ethan Johnson; Graham Johnson; Ashton Zeller and wife, Barbara; Reid Zeller and wife, Ashley; Patrick Zeller and wife, Ashton; Brendon Zeller; Bailey Zeller and wife, Shelby; great-grandchildren Lyra Zeller, Adelaide Zeller, Thomas Zeller, Blue Zeller, and two precious babies expected soon.

A memorial service celebrating Sylvia’s life will be held at Lenoir Presbyterian Church on Saturday, February 3, 2024 at 1:00 PM with Pastor Rob Hinman officiating.
