ROCKY MOUNT – Alice Marilyn Denty Jackson, born on November 16, 1952, in Bad Nauheim, Germany, passed away peacefully surrounded by love.

Alice was a truly selfless and compassionate woman who dedicated the majority of her life to helping children grow, thrive, and feel supported—especially those most in need. Through both her work as a Day Care Director and volunteerism through the Guardian ad Litem program, Alice became a fierce advocate for children and left a lasting impact on countless lives.

She had a rare gift for connection—Alice never met a stranger. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine care for others made her deeply loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Alice is survived by her three children, Christie, Rusty, and Brandon Jackson; her beloved grandsons, Max and Wyatt; her brother, Eddie Denty; her sisters-in-law, Ann Denty and Phyllis Denty; and her nephew, Nick Denty. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Lydia Denty, and her brother, Mike Denty.

She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose legacy of love and service will continue to live on through her family and all those she touched.

The family will be hosting a celebration of life June 13, 2026 from 2pm-5pm. Please refer to the following link for details and to RSVP by May 31, 2026. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988491899801?aff=oddtdtcreator

  3. Alice and I shared a bond for many years. I first met her when our sons were in school and band together. Our paths crossed again later and I recognised what a kind and gentle person she was! We saw each other from time to time through the years.
    I admired her for her strength and her love for her family. Rest now, sweet Alice in Jesus’ arms.

  6. May dear Alice rest in ETERNAL PEACE. Her Stone Park Day Care was an important chapter in my son’s life! She loved the kids deeply and touched all of our lives with that love. She is the kind of person that you never forget! I have so doubt she is now loving children in an ETERNAL DAY CARE! GOD hold you tightly Alice and may HE strengthen and give HIS PEACE to your family and loved ones missing your presence down here!

  7. Eddie & Ms Ann, as I affectionately call her, I am very sorry to hear of Alice’s passing. I thought I saw her not to long ago but I can’t remember where and she looked so good. This is quite a shock. My prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. May God grant you all peace, comfort, strength, and love when you need them the most only He can give. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Rest in peace, Alice. It was an honor to know you even if it was a short time.
