Rest in Peace, Christy Davis Jackson
Christy Davis Jackson transitioned over the Thanksgiving Holiday after facing a series of medical-related ailments.
Ms. Jackson was the beloved wife of AME Bishop Reginald T. Jackson; mother to Seth Joshua; step mother to Regina Victoria; former Supervisor of the Sixth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME); a dear friend to so many across the states of Georgia, New Jersey, and Ohio; and a national figure in the fight for equity, civil rights, and equal rights.
Ms. Jackson worked tirelessly to forge partnerships among the public, private and faith sectors, and to help government reach its potential as a force for policies that improve people’s lives.
In her early professional career, she served as the legal counsel and Chief of Staff for State Senator Wynona M. Lipman, who was the first African American woman elected to the state Senate in New Jersey. She went on to serve various organizations and institutions throughout the Garden State, including as Senator Frank Lautenberg’s State Director and Chair of Jon Corzine’s senatorial campaign. She continued her professional career developing education, workforce and economic development, and health polices as the Founder of City Strategy Group and a Principal at BusDev Solutions.
From 2012 to 2016, she served with her husband in the AME’s 20th Episcopal District, which includes Malawi, Zimbabwe, the northern portion of Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda.
In 2016, Ms. Jackson relocated to Georgia to once again work alongside her husband as Supervisor for the Sixth Episcopal District (AME). In that role, she led the statewide organizational and operational activities for the AMEs and its 534 churches across the state, directed the Women’s Missionary Society in the state of Georgia, fought to strengthen the voice of women within the Church, and served as advisor and strategist to her husband.
This August, Bishop Jackson and Supervisor Jackson were chosen to lead the Second Episcopal District, which includes the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina.
Bishop Jackson, Regina, and Seth would like to thank the outpouring of love, prayers, and support shared over the last few hours. At this time, funeral arrangements have not been finalized. Thank you.
