Jacquelyn "Lulu" Hasty

Jacquelyn "Lulu" Hasty, 82 of Jackson passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, May 19, 2025. A devoted and compassionate caregiver, Lulu dedicated over 30 years of her life as a Certified Medical Assistant at the local nursing home, touching countless lives with her kindness and gentle touch.

Born to Conley and Mary Little, Lulu was a woman who found immense joy in the simple things. Her green thumb was evident in her vibrant gardens and her culinary skills were legendary, resulting in countless jars of delicious home-canned goods. Above all, Lulu cherished the time spent with her beloved family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who brought immeasurable light to her life.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Conley and Mary Little; her sister, Ruby Barnett; and her brother, Howard Little. Lulu’s memory will be lovingly carried on by her daughter, Teresa Smith (Fred Stewart); her sons, Jeffery and Serena Smith and Gary and Kathy Smith; her grandchildren, Justin Hollon and Cassie, Gary Thomas Conley Smith; and her cherished great-grandchildren, Jaylan, Alexis, Adilyn, and River Hollon.

A private memorial service celebrating Lulu’s life will be held at a later date.
