Myra Louise Keene Jackson, age 96, of McKinney, Texas went to

her reward on January 22, 2017. She was born on January 15, 1921 in

New Madrid, Missouri to James Lemuel Hastings Keene and Mattie

Lee Joiner Keene. On November 26, 1939, she married Madison

Buel Jackson in St. Louis, Missouri and he preceded her in death on

January 7, 1973.

Eventually she moved to Milan, Michigan where she lived for over

50 years before moving with her daughter and grandchildren to

Texas. Louise worked as a nursing supervisor at Ypsilanti State

Hospital from 1944-1981. After retirement, she continued to care for

people in a myriad of different ways.

Everyone that crossed her path went away with a hand-crocheted

item that she made especially for them.

She was a big personality remembered by everyone she met

including her daughter's schoolmates some 50 years later.

She was purely devoted to her family and always said that they were

her whole world. She had several nieces named after her and she was

so very proud of that fact.

She had one very special niece, Leaveve Jackson Holmes who was

her first "daughter".

She is survived by her daughter Necia Alyne (Joe) Guidry,

Grandsons Christopher Madison (Chessa) Horvath, Nicholas Stephen

Horvath, Gabriel Michael Horvath, her "miracle girl", granddaughter

Courtney Louise Horvath, great-grandchildren Annalyse LeAnn and

Sadie Madison Horvath and Samuel Layne Horvath all of McKinney,

TX. Lastly, she leaves behind her long-time chosen daughter,

Carrilou McConeghy Kaufman of Glendale, Az. as well as her

beloved dog TJ.

She is also survived by a brother Clifford W. (Keene) Tittle of

Bismarck, Arkansas.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters Hazel

Fitzgerald, Olga McCarty and Alyne Townsend and her brother
