Obituary For Danielle Jackson

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart. Proverbs 3:5

Danielle Charisse Jackson, affectionally known as Danny or Danny J., was born to Darren Jackson and Anna (Williams) Slaughter on April 7, 1991, in Savannah, Ga.

She grew up a military child and relocated to different military posts with her family. Danielle attended schools in Hinesville, Fort Stewart, Valdosta and Locust Grove, Ga. Also, Fort Knox, KY. She transferred from Fort Knox High School in 2006 while in the 9th grade to Luella High School in Locust Grove, Ga. after her father Derrick retired from the U.S. Army. Danielle graduated from Luella High School in 2010. After high school, she attended Georgia Southern University and Kennesaw State University. She graduated from Kennesaw State University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Communications with a minor in Public Relations. Danielle then continued her education further completing her Master of Science in Nonprofit Leadership and Management in 2016 at Walden University. During the time of her passing, she was pursuing her Doctor of Public Administration degree at Walden University having only four courses left before starting her residency. Her nephews were already calling her Dr. Jackson!

On Friday December 23, 2022, she departed this life in Augusta, Ga where she resided.

Danielle accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of New Testament House of Prayer in Jones, GA and also attended Christ Prayer Deliverance and Outreach Ministries in Allenhurst, GA with her parents growing up. She also attended Divine Faith Ministries in Jonesboro, Ga while living in metro Atlanta.

Danielle had a sweet and humble spirit, was very loving and caring, always willing to help others, loved spending time with her parents, siblings and loved her extended family and friends. She will be missed tremendously by family and friends. Heaven truly gained a beautiful angel!

For the past seven years, Danielle has worked diligently as a civil service employee with the federal government at the Department of Labor and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an intern, and permanent full-time at the Defense Logistics Agency as a Contracting Officer and most recently the Department of Energy in Aiken, SC. as a Contract Specialist.

I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to Danielle's family during this difficult time. I worked with Danielle at DLA Richmond and got a chance to know her and work with her and she was a true gem. From the stories she shared with me, I know she loved her family very much and always talked about her nephews. I was really saddened when I heard she had passed away. I am thankful that God allowed me the opportunity to meet her and know her. May she rest in peace.

Danny, you will be deeply missed by me (Anthony) and your entire DLA Richmond family. I was Danny's KO and help train her in the ways of DLA Richmond-when she came to our section. You were a very intelligent young lady...and my deepest sympathy goes out to the family.
