Pastor Pauline Frances Jackson

Life Pastor Pauline Frances Jackson, at the age of ninety (90), a resident of Crisfield, MD, transitioned from this earth into the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on February 26, 2024. She was born on February 9, 1934, in Crisfield, MD. She was the daughter of the late Ella Mae Fisher-Miles (Alonzo Miles, Sr.) and Milton Croswell. Pastor Pauline F. Jackson was educated in Somerset County Public Schools in Crisfield, MD. She fervently loved God's word and furthered her education by attending Bishop George A. Copeland’s Bible Institute at United Faith Church of Deliverance. In 1986, she graduated from the UFCD Bible Institute, receiving her certification and license as an Evangelist. Pastor Jackson was deeply committed to the Crisfield community. Throughout her life, she contributed in various capacities, including work and volunteerism. She was an employee at Byrd’s Seafood, the Sherwin-Williams Corporation, and was a bus aid for SHORE UP! Inc. She also was a faithful volunteer and board member at the Help Our Children Foundation in Crisfield, MD. Whether serving in formal positions or through casual encounters at the grocery store, Pastor Jackson was known throughout the community for sharing her gift of heartfelt encouragement and a tight hug to all she encountered. She was uniquely able to meet people where they were and minister to their needs just the right way. Love Pastor Jackson married the love of her life, Bishop George S. Jackson, on August 7, 1954. The two shared a fruitful marriage of sixty-five (65) years until her late husband departed this earth in 2019. She was a devoted mother to eleven biological, five adopted and a host of spiritual children. She was happiest when her home was filled with family and loved ones. She often showed her love by being a fantastic cook, always preparing more than enough food "just in case" someone would stop by. She also loved reading her Bible, bowling, horseshoes, Scrabble and coloring books. Ministry In 1967, Pastor Jackson's life was forever changed when she attended a revival at Enon Baptist Church in Crisfield, MD. In pursuit of healing for her daughter Sharon, God drew her to Himself, leading to a lifetime of ministry and devotion to Him and His people. In the early days of her ministry, Pastor Jackson led praise and worship, testimony service, and served as president of the missionaries at Highway Holiness Church. In 1973, she and her husband founded Charity Holiness Deliverance Center in Crisfield, MD, where she spent the rest of her life ministering to family, friends, and anyone who needed uplifting. Even after she became sick, she continued to praise God until God called her home. Legacy Pastor Jackson leaves to cherish her fond memory, her children: H.
