Dawn "Corky" Carey Jackson, age 57, of Greenback, Tennessee, passed the bonds of this
earth at 8:40 pm on March 30, 2022. Corky was surrounded by her family as she entered
eternity. She was a dedicated wife, mother, and friend. She knew no stranger and loved with
every fiber of her being. Corky will be remembered for the way she made people feel and
glowing smile. She was a proud alumna of Greenback High School ('83) and active member of
the Greenback community. Corky is preceded in death by her father, Kenny Carey; mother, Naomi "Cookie" Montgomery Carey; sister, Jodi Lynn Carey; brother-in-law, Wayne Jackson; and four grandchildren who never made it earthside. She is survived by the love of her life, high school sweetheart, and husband of more than 36 years, Todd Jackson; son and daughter-in-law, Sam and Hayley Jackson; in-laws, Curtis and Barbara Jackson; brother and sister-in-law, Moe and Selena Jackson; nieces and nephews, Curtis Wayne Jackson, Moe Jackson, Katherine Middaugh (Addison), and Alyssa Jackson; CarJack Family, Doug, Marsha, Douglas, and Britianny Carter; extended family including members of the Carey, Collins, Forkner, Lambert, and Montgomery families; and special friend and neighbor, Jane Extine. Corky requested to be cremated. A Celebration of Life will be announced later. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the family's upcoming "Corky Carey Jackson Class Ring Fund" will honor Corky's desire to annually honor a Greenback junior that isn't able to afford a class ring. Corky discreetly provided class rings for Greenback students over the years in honor of the same kindness that was shown to her late father, Kenny Carey at Vonore High School. The family requests that everyone reading this obituary spread kindness, seek unity, and love like Corky. Click Funeral Home in Lenoir City is in charge of arrangements. www.clickfuneralhome.com
