Obituary for Cassandra Lynette Jackson
Sunrise: January 26, 1958  Sunset: July 19, 2025

Cassandra Lynette Jackson, affectionately known as Sandy or Sandra, was born on January 26, 1958, in Bainbridge, Georgia, and peacefully entered eternal rest on July 19, 2025, in Suwanee, Georgia, where she was a cherished resident.

A woman of unwavering faith and deep compassion, Cassandra lived a life defined by her love for God, her family, and her community. She was a proud Christian and ordained, licensed clergy for over 25 years. She graduated from Interdenominational Ministries International Bible College in 1994 and later earned her degree from Northwestern State University in 2011.

Cassandra served her country honorably as a Staff Sergeant E-6 in the United States Army. After her military service, she continued her commitment to public service as a Project Office Assistant with the Army Corps of Engineers. Her heart for others led her to become the Founder of Exousia Safe Family Shelter, where she poured her energy into creating a haven for those in need.

As a member of Cross Church, Cassandra’s ministry and daily life were reflections of her calling. Her faith was not just something she preached—it was something she lived, deeply and consistently. Her greatest joy was sharing the word of God and demonstrating His love to everyone she encountered.

Cassandra had a creative and nurturing spirit. She found peace and joy in her many hobbies, which included writing, painting, drawing, sewing, crocheting, and studying the Word of God. Her home was always a place of beauty, reflection, and love.

She was, above all, a wonderful mother, and a loving grandmother. Family was always her priority. She loved each and every one of her family members more than she loved herself. Her sacrifices, prayers, and wisdom laid a foundation for generations to come. She spoke of her five beloved grandchildren every single day and devoted her final years to imparting wisdom and faith into their lives. They were her heart, her joy, and her legacy.

Cassandra is survived by her beloved daughter Corina Cook, daughter Dionna Pena, Son-in law Edward Tito Pena, grandson Christopher Cook, granddaughters Cayla Cook, Komikko Barkley, Tatiana Pena, Mariah Pena, sisters Laverne Turner and Tynese Turner, and brother Benard Wade.

She leaves behind a grateful and loving family who will cherish her memory and continue to live out her values: five grandchildren, extended family, friends, church family, and all those whose lives she touched with her grace, strength, and kindness.
