Rosie J (Meade) Jackson

Rosie J. Jackson, 90, of New London, passed from this life on Tuesday, June 7, 2022, while at Metro Health Medical Center, Cleveland. Born to Myrtie Ellen (nee Case) Meade and Robert Meade in Kentucky on April 29, 1932, Rosie came to New London in her teens.

Rosie was an incredibly talented artist, painter, floral arranger, and craft enthusiast. An amazing artist who could paint anything, Rosie was well known for her artwork. While she enjoyed doing many types of arts and crafts, the one thing Rosie hated was sewing. She was energetic, strong willed, assertive, and vocal, but was also kind and generous.
