Demopolis City Schools honors the life and legacy of a remarkable woman, Martha Ann Pruitt Jackson, who gave 28 years of dedicated service to our school system. As the bookkeeper for both the middle and high schools, she was the quiet force behind the scenes—steady, reliable, and always there when needed.
She not only kept the books in line, she also served as a sponsor for the danceline and majorettes for a number of years, guiding students not just in performance, but in life. She also graduated in 1971 from Demopolis High School where she as a majorette for the Demopolis High School Marching Tiger Band. Her influence reached far beyond ledgers and halftime shows—she touched hearts.
Known for her deep compassion, kindness, and unwavering support, she had a way of making every person feel seen and valued. She was always ready with a warm smile or listening ear, and truly a friend to everyone she met.
Demopolis City Schools is better because she was part of us and always will be. 💙
Visitation will be held Saturday, June 14, 2025 at First Baptist Church of Demopolis, Alabama from 9:30 am until the 11:00 service time with Rev. James Bliffen officiating. A culminating public graveside burial will follow at Riverside Cemetery in Demopolis, Alabama.
