They went on to join North Jackson Baptist Church where they were members until both of their deaths.

She spent many hours in the 1980’s and 1990’s singing with a 4-lady quartet “Sonlight”, with the church choir and then in a group her daughter, Jennifer, put together “One Accord”.

charles.jpg

Charles, Jared Albert, age 26, of Tampa, FL died August 6, 2022. Jared lived a life on the road less traveled. He was a free spirit that did not conform. Those who were fortunate enough to know him knew his heart and authentic truth. He treated everyone with respect and would give everything he had to someone in need. I wish I could have learned more from him. He lived in the moment and mindfulness which so many people struggle to do every day. Some would say Jared was ahead of his time and saw the beauty in everything. He loved rap, dancing, singing, writing, and drawing. He could talk to anyone about anything, read more books than most, got a full college scholarship, loved art and the list goes on. To me, he will always be my Jar Jar. He loved Star Wars, all animals, crab legs and so much more! He is sadly missed by so many. His smile warmed hearts wherever he went.

He is survived by:

Parents – Michele and Eric

Brother – Jacob

Grandfather- Albert

Godmother – Amy and family

 

 

No services are planned at this time.
