Jacqueline “Jackie” Louise Claborn, 76, of Fayetteville passed away February 22, 2023, after battling multiple myeloma.
She stepped out of the battle and into the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the heavenly hosts, and family and friends waiting there.
She was born in Atlanta, Georgia on August 28, 1946, to the late Frank and Millie Phillips. Jackie graduated from Headland High School in 1964 and later graduated from Greenleaf Business School in Atlanta. She moved to Fayette County in 1978 with her family from East Point.
She was a faithful member at New Hope Baptist Church for 19 years and a dedicated member of Harp’s Crossing Baptist Church for the last 20+ years. Jackie was a loving wife, mother, and best friend to many. She had a heart of service that was demonstrated through laughter and food. Jackie brightened every room she entered.
