Pat Marie Jackson

Pat Jackson, age 85 of Wayne, passed away Thursday, February 4, 2021. Patricia Marie Hart was born October 15, 1935 in Mt. Pleasant, MI, the younger of two daughters born to Glen and Margaret Hart. Pat was raised in Mt. Pleasant and attended school there, but like most families in that time, the Hart family followed work, and this eventually led them to Midland, TX. It was here that Pat met a young man from Caddo, Oklahoma who was working in the oil fields named O.R. Jackson. They fast became friends and fell in love, and on October 3, 1952, Pat and O.R crossed the border and were married in Lovington, NM. They eventually settled in Purcell where they raised 6 children; sons, Danny, Donald and Jimmy and daughters, Ellen, Tricia and Karen. Pat was the epitome of grace and the textbook definition of a homemaker. She cherished her family and was never happier than day she became a grandmother. She was a gifted seamstress and could design and sew anything. She made clothes for her family, and was so very proud to be able to create her daughter's wedding dresses and veils. She was frugal and could make anything, even with very little to work with, and she volunteered and donated items for several charitable organizations. She enjoyed quilting and shared her many talents with her family and friends. Pat was a wise woman and enjoyed a good challenge. She liked working crossword puzzles and she never missed an episode of Jeopardy. Her later years were spent "rockin" her grandbabies and great grandbabies, and this brought her much happiness and joy. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother and a good friend to many. She will be dearly missed! She was preceded in death by: her husband, O.R. Jackson; son, James 'Jimmy' Jackson; her parents, Glen and Margaret Hart and her sister, Jeanne Smith. Pat is survived by: sons, Danny Jackson and wife Ginger of Wayne and Don Jackson and wife Denise of Tulsa; daughters, Ellen Armstrong and husband John of Summerville, SC, Tricia Staggs and husband Jeff of Purcell and Karen Seiler and husband Paul of Broken Arrow, OK; 12 grandchildren; 25 great grandchildren and a host of other family and friends.
