Obituary for JACKSON


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Saturday September 11, 2010

Tracy (Scott) Jackson passed away unexpectedly and peacefully at her home on Sunday, September 5, 2010. She was a miracle when she came into this world on July 30, 1980. She was six weeks early and weighed only four lbs 11oz. She began her life as a fighter and carried that attitude through her journey. She graduated from Santa Fe High School in 1998 with honors as a Royal Blue and top 50 of her class. She attended NMSU and received a Nursing degree from Santa Fe Community College. She was a Registered Nurse working at the VA Medical Center. She was always the first person to help people in any way. She always put other people before herself. She loved many things like making wedding cakes, weekends at the lake, being outdoors, and she had become an avid huntress. She was so graceful on a water ski, but a true klutz on land. Her greatest joy came from her "bubba love" Daniel Ray Jackson who was also a miracle when she delivered him to us on February 12th of this year. She relayed that he had taught her what it truly meant to love. She taught all of those whom she touched how to love, even more because she made us all better for knowing her. She was married to Matt in April of 2008. The love they shared was truly special and their time together however short was a blessing for him. She will be sorely missed; the world is a lesser place without her. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Donald Scott, Joy Neie and Oliver Neie. She is survived by her husband, Matthew Jackson; son, Daniel Ray Jackson; parents, Michael and Gail Scott; brother, Curtis Scott; nephews, Riley Scott and Dustin Scott; grandmother, Betty Jo Scott; mother-in-law, Clara Jackson; aunts, uncles, cousins, and a multitude of friends that are also considered immediate family. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:30 a.m., Saturday, September 11, 2010, New Life City church, 4830 Pan American Freeway NE, Albuquerque, NM, 505-323-3900. A Celebration of her life will continue at the Scott family's home following the service. In lieu of flowers there will be a scholarship fund established at Bank of America for Daniel.
