Audrey Mae Baloney (Jackson)

On September 29, 2021, God in His wisdom decided to call Audrey Mae Jackson-Baloney from labor to reward. Audrey was born on February 26, 1943 to the late Rose Davis Jackson and the late Joseph Jackson. Audrey would grow up as the baby of twelve children. She was born and raised in Lyon, LA. She was educated in the St. John the Baptist School System, where she later became a substitute teacher.

Audrey loved the Lord. At an early age she was baptized at Zion Travelers Missionary Baptist Church by the late Rev. Marshall Cambre, Sr.She was a dedicated and faithful member at Zion. She became a choir member at a young age and was always available to sing when asked, until she became ill. Audrey took care of the children in the church's nursery. She never said no to something that needed to be done when she was able to do it.

One day she decided to say "YES!", and married the late Joseph Baloney III. Their union was blessed with seven loving children. When Audrey was not tending to the needs of others, you could find her watching one of her favorite TV shows; Rifle Man, Big Valley, or any cowboy show she could find.

Audrey leaves to cherish her precious memories her children: Lola Jackson, Angela Baloney-Davis (Paul), Randy Jackson (Shelita), Dexter Jackson (Valerie), Kay Baloney, and Corey Jackson; eight grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
