He was born May 8, 1925, in Ashburn, Georgia, to the late Clarence W. Jackson and Corinne Betts Jackson. Clarence served in the Pacific in the US Navy during World War II. At the end of the War, Clarence returned to Georgia where he met his wife of 70 years, Jeannine Taylor Jackson, in Newnan.
After a 2 year courtship, the two married in 1948. The couple grew their family and welcomed 3 sons, Wayne, Alan and David, over the next 10 years while Clarence started his own business which he managed until his retirement in 1985. Clarence served in various lay roles at Newnan Presbyterian Church for over 65 years where he and his family enjoyed membership. During retirement Clarence could most often be found working in his yard and garden, playing golf with friends, and enjoying his ever-growing family.
