Mother Mozella Jack- son, known throughout the community as a gospel singer, and one of the found- ing members of New Progress Missionary Baptist Church, passed away Satur- day night, March 7, 2015. She was 93 years old.
Mother Jackson, mem- bers of her family and others, founded the church 54 years ago with her brother, Rev. E. J. Williams, Sr. as the pastor. Rev. Williams is still pastor.
For many years, Mother Jackson was active with dif- ferent Choir Unions of the city and enjoyed gospel singing. One of the groups she nurtured until they be- came recording artists was The Gospel Miraclettes. “They were by to see her on Saturday,” her godson, Willie Mitchell stated.
After the popularity of Choir Unions died out, Mother Jackson contin- ued to have reunions with the young people from the different Youth Choirs she had mentored in her church. Each year, she called them together for a picnic, re-
hearsals and a concert finale. Mitchell said Mother Jackson’s health had been declining since a hospital stay for pneumonia in Janu- ary. She was, however, in worship service up to about 2
weeks ago.
Mother Jackson, a
housewife, was a Foster Mother for over 29 years. She adopted 6 of the many children that came through her home over the years. Many of them were adopted out of her home, while others resided there until adult- hood.
Owner of a floral shop, Mother Jackson was also active in the community. She was a member of the East Tampa Civic Association and worked tirelessly with fundraising for the YET Cen- ter.
A longtime resident of Tampa, in addition to the many foster children and brother, Mother Jackson has a daughter, Audrey Toombs; grandson, and nu- merous nieces, nephews. Fu- neral arrangements are incomplete at this time, but are tentatively planned for March 21, 2015, with Har- mon Funeral Home handling the arrangements.
IN LOVING MEMORY
Funeral Held For Jazz Great Clark Terry
DEA. JIMMIE JACKSON February 25, 1939 – March 10, 2014
One year ago, you quietly departed this earth for your heavenly home. Your soul is at rest, but we have cherished memories that will last forever.
You will always be remembered. Sadly missed, but still loved by: Annette; children, grandchildren, great grand- children, and all other family members.
NEW YORK —- Leg- endary jazz trumpeter Clark Terry, who mentored Miles Davis and Quincy Jones and played in the or- chestras of both Count Basie and Duke Ellington and on “The Tonight Show,” has died. He was 94.
Terry’s wife announced his death on his website late Saturday night.
Terry had been in failing health in recent years after suffering from extreme com- plications of diabetes. Terry, who had been living in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, en- tered into hospice care ear- lier this month.
“The world has lost one of the greatest trumpeters to ever grace the planet,” Quincy Jones wrote on his Facebook page. “Clark Terry was my first trumpet teacher as a teen in Seattle, my idol, and my brother. When he left the Basie and Ellington bands, also two of my idols, to join mine, it was one of the most humbling moments in my life.”
Clark Terry, 94, is shown with Quincy Jones.
Jones honored his men- tor by co-producing the doc- umentary “Keep on Keepin’ On,” which pre- miered last September and focused on the relationship between Terry and his young protege, blind jazz pi- anist Justin Kauflin.
During a career spanning more than seven decades, Terry was a mentor to gen- erations of jazz musicians, starting with Miles Davis, who first met Terry as a teenager growing up in East St. Louis, Illinois, across the river from Terry’s home- town.
His funeral was held last weekend in New York.
