Jackie was born on January 24, 1962 in Lafayette, Indiana to Clyde Sexton and Jackie (Fields) Sexton. Jackie is preceded in death by her father Clyde. Her mother, Jackie Austin resides in Lafayette, Indiana.
On September 24, 1977, Jackie and Troy Watson took an oath to God in marriage. Jackie later gave birth to three beautiful children, the late Cassandra Jacqueline, Troy Elmon (and wife, Shyanne), and Daniel Patton Watson. She raised her boys with patience, discipline, and humility by her faith in God. Jackie taught them to love God and encouraged them to explore the beauty of the word of God. Her strong faith and devotion in the Lord lead her oldest son, Troy, to become a preacher, and her youngest, Daniel, to be a kind hearted young man. Jackie wanted nothing more than for her sons to listen and follow God's plan for them.
Jackie had three siblings, Patricia Young and Kathy Fisher of Lafayette Indiana, and the late Jerry Sexton. Jackie also had a sister by choice, Rose Mary Coffey of Stearns, Kentucky, and several nieces and nephews.
One of her greatest joys was the birth of grandchildren. The first born, Cassandra Watson and youngest, Aleah Watson. She loved the days she got to spend with them, especially when they were able to sneak to Nana's house. Her heart may have failed, but the love she received from her family and friends filled it to the max.
The Watson family want to thank each and every one for your support and love during this troublesome, but rejoicing time. Jackie was so anxious to go home and be with Jesus.
