Phyllis Ann Jackson, 68, of Corbin, Kentucky, passed away Saturday, January 10, 2026. Born January 3, 1958, she was the daughter of the late Foyster and Ethel Johnson.

Phyllis was an exceptionally friendly, welcoming woman who made a lasting impact on everyone who knew her.
A dedicated, hard-working employee, she retired from Walmart after 33 years of service, where she treated customers and co-workers with genuine respect and helpfulness.
Always in her heart was the love she had for her family. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and helping with their care. Meanwhile, her passion for flower gardening and applying her creative genius to projects was always a part of her routine.
Dearly loved, Phyllis will be deeply missed.
