She was a baptized member of First Baptist Church of Finleyville. Johnnie May had a caring and giving spirit that was evident when you were around her. She would always ask how family members were doing and would want to gift what she had to someone else. After visiting with her, she would say, “Tell everyone I’m praying for them.”  She was preceded in death by her stepfather, Gene Paul Jackson. Johnnie May is survived by brothers, Michael (Alia) Jackson of North Versailles, and Curtis Jackson of Atlanta, Ga.; daughter, Nicole Lynn Cook of Washington, Pa.; nieces, Sadie and Emma Jackson of Atlanta, Ga.; aunts, uncles and many cousins and friends.
