Earlean Johnson, born on August 27, 1946, in Alsatia, Louisiana, is a remarkable individual from a small farming town in Northeast Louisiana. She is the daughter of John Johnson and Bertha Green and grew up in a large family, being one of twelve siblings: six sisters—Bessie, Fannie, Roberta, Florastine (GLO), Catherine, and Mary—and five brothers—Jack, Walter, George, Robert, and James.
On November 8, 1992, Earlean married Wade Lee Jackson Jr., becoming Earlean Jackson. Wade was a veteran of World War II and a retired mill worker who dedicated his life to service before passing away on July 28, 2020. Earlean served as the Head Dietician at the Council on Aging in Madison Parish, Louisiana, until her relocation to Alabama in October 2022. She also worked as a caregiver for the elderly and was a head cook at various restaurants in Tallulah, Louisiana.
Earlean is the proud mother of two children, Darrell Johnson and Shelia Johnson. She has a deep passion for cooking and caring for her family, always prioritizing work and family life. Following her mother’s passing in 2000, Earlean took on the responsibility of caring for her special needs sister, Florastine (GLO), until Florastine’s death in 2022. Additionally, Earlean served as the head usher at First Kingdom Missionary Baptist Church. We celebrate Earlean’s incredible life and contributions to her family and community
