Curlene Jackson Obituary

Curlene Anne Jackson was born on September 12, 1961 to the union of Curtis and Jean Jackson in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Curlene graduated from Harrison High School (Colorado Springs, Colorado) in 1979. She attended and graduated from Morristown College in Morristown Tennessee. She then attended NYU where she received her Associate's degree in Business in 1988. Within the same period, Curlene received her National HUD Certification in Property Management. As a housing advocate, Curlene was instrumental in helping many New Yorkers receive adequate housing and services. In 2001, she continued her housing advocacy by joining the leadership team at Bronx Independent Living Services (BILS). Curlene embraced life with no apology. Known as "the philosopher", she unearthed life's complexities with insight and wisdom. A friend to all and a neighbor to the outcast, Curlene redefined religion, beauty and life. She departed this life on June 3, 2005 at Lincoln Hospital. She joins the angels, messengers and comforters who courageously created a pathway for love, truth and wisdom. Curlene leaves to cherish her memories: her parents, Curtis and Jean Jackson, Colorado Springs, CO; her sisters: Rev. Darlene Jackson, Orange, NJ; Jamilia and Roland Fielder, Humble, TX; her nieces: Imani and Samara Fielder; and a very large host of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Services were held Saturday, June 11 at Isaiah Chapel in New York. Private interment.

May God be with you Mr. & Mrs. Jackson in this time of sorrow. I'll miss Curlene's sense of humor. From the time we were in high school until we were grown adults, she always had a way of bringing a smile to your face no matter what was going on. I will always remember the fits of laughter we would fall into for hours at a time. My heart breaks to see you go so soon my friend, but I know that you are in a better place.

My condolences to the Jackson family. Time heals all wounds and we shall all go home someday.

Note to my dear Friend Curlene, you have gone on to glory. The Lord has prepared a place for you, this I know. No more stress, no more worries. "It is so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, I thought we would live to share forever." We had so many, many memories. We had so many dreams! I shall miss your laughter, your wit, and your wisdom. Rest in peace my dear friend, until I meet you again!

Love, Jennifer
