Description:
Digital copy of a funeral program for Gloria Quinn Jackson. The funeral program consists of black text and color photos printed on two sheets of white paper, folded once, and stapled together to produce eight pages. The first page, or cover, has a color image of Jackson. Text at the top of the page reads [Home Going Celebration / For / Gloria Quinn Jackson]. Below the image, text lists out Jackson's birth and death dates, as well as the date, time, and location of the services. The service took place at First Baptist Church North Tulsa and was officiated by Rev. Terry L. Buxton Sr.
The left side of the first interior spread (page 2) includes the 23rd Psalm, an image of two hands together in prayer, and Psalm 27:1. The right side (page 3) lists out the order of service from Prelude to Recessional. The second interior spread features an obituary for Jackson (page 4) titled "Reflections of Gloria Quinn Jackson" printed over an image of Jackson, while the right side of the spread (page 5) features a passage titled "May I Go Now" with a photo of two women, one in a graduation cap and gown, and three doves below the passage. The third interior spread includes a poem, "A Tribute to Aunt Gloria," written by Audrey Quinn McGill on the left side (page 6). The right side of the spread (page 7) has an image of a handwritten prayer by Gloria Jackson titled "Pray a Prayer" above three photos of Jackson.
The last page, or back cover, lists the pallbearers and flower bearers, the interment location, "Expressions of Gratitude" from the family, and who managed the funeral arrangements.
