It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mindy Ann Jackson, age 63, of Knoxville, TN.  She died peacefully February 28, 2023, with family at her side.

She was born December 4, 1959, to James A. and Patricia J. Jackson at the Presidio in San Francisco, CA.  Mindy graduated from Gaylesville High School in 1978.  She received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and her Associate's degree from Pellissippi State.

Mindy was a Knoxville, TN resident since 1996 and was employed at UT Conferences-Knoxville since 1999.  She was a die-hard Vols fan, attending football and basketball games with season tickets. Go Vols!

Mindy loved her dogs, Snickers and Bentley.  She was an animal lover who spent many days volunteering with rescue groups transporting dogs and other animals to their furever homes.

She was preceded in death by her parents, James A. Jackson and Patricia J. (Philip) Mallory; grandparents, Grady and Gartrelle Jackson, Robert D. and Grace B. Elkins; and a sister, Margaret K. Swan.
