Esther Jackson

Celebrating the Life of Esther Jackson Esther Jackson, born July 17, 1944, in Endeavour, St. Ann, Jamaica, to Lawford Moulton and Josephine Moulton, peacefully entered eternal rest at the age of 81 on May 10, 2026, at home, surrounded by the love of her family. Esther later went to work in St. James, Jamaica, where she met the love of her life, Renford Jackson. They were married on November 24, 1963, at the ages of 19 and 21. After their marriage, they returned to St. Ann, where they began building their life together, grounded in faith, family, and their church community. After the birth of their first child, Esther moved back to her hometown of Endeavour. She often shared how deeply she was loved by her husband, who spoiled her and made her feel cherished. She would fondly recall how, when he came home, she would run to him, and he would lift her up in his arms—moments that stayed close to her heart. Esther lived a life rooted in love, faith, and quiet strength. She received her secondary school education and worked faithfully as a domestic worker, but her true life’s work was caring for others. She had a heart that made everyone feel seen, welcomed, and loved. If you ever met Esther, you felt it—her kindness was genuine, and her love was freely given. She was the kind of woman who never sat still for long. Even when the house was already spotless, she would find something else to do. Taking care of her home and family wasn’t a task to her—it was her way of showing love. Her hands were always busy, but her heart was always present. Esther also carried a joyful spirit and a sense of humor that lit up every room. Her grandchildren, especially, will never forget her funny voice messages and the way she could make them laugh without even trying. Those small, everyday moments are now some of the most treasured memories. Esther loved to dance and carried a joyful spirit wherever she went. She truly enjoyed entertaining guests in her home and was known for preparing full-course meals. Even when it was just her and her husband, she cooked as if she were feeding the entire family—because she believed someone might stop by, and she always wanted to be ready to welcome them with love. Her greatest joy in life was her family. She loved deeply and completely, and her legacy lives on through them. She also found great purpose in her faith, her church, and in serving God with a humble and devoted heart. Esther was very active in her church community and served on the board of trustees alongside her late husband. She was lovingly regarded as the “mother of the church,” known for her wisdom, guidance, and the respectful way she carried herself in every setting. Esther’s husband, Renford Jackson, is deceased. She leaves behind a beautiful and strong family: her sisters, Evelyn Moulton and Ivy Moulton; her brother, Lincoln Moulton; her children, along with their spouses, Sharon Jackson, Ahinoam & Devon Hall, Faith Jackson & Tyrone Coleman, Deborah Jackson-Walters & Kenneth Walters, Hopelee Jackson, Narrah & Victor Sivewright, Aurora & Elliott Morst, Malachi & Dorathy Jackson, Elizaphan Jackson, Amos Jackson, and Benjamin & Jarieu Jackson, along with 31 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, all of whom carry a piece of her love within them. More than anything, Esther will be remembered for her warm smile, her gentle spirit, and the unconditional love she gave so freely. She was the heart of her family—a steady presence, a source of comfort, and a woman whose love will continue to guide and surround them. Funeral services will be held at Roberts Funeral Home. The family will share additional details. A Message from the Family: The family of Esther Jackson would like to express heartfelt gratitude for all the love, prayers, visits, calls, and support shown during this difficult time.
