Thinking of Inez often. She formed me as a Barbizon teacher back in 1986 in Bermuda and what she taught me is still within me! What a lady she was.

Inez or Zeni as she introduced herself as (lol I never knew her name until later), made me promise to takemy skills out one day and make a business out of it. And I have. I do hope she is proud of me because its her fault lol. I love her for being forceful about it. She was a no nonsense lady and just what I needed. I liked to sneak in a Zeni hug whenever I could and I am so glad now that I did. What a gas she was. Love yall...hope the Lord has brought you some peace somehow through shared memories of joy. Xo

I met Inez many years ago when she was one of the Directors for The Debutante Ball in Easton , Pa. She was a woman of Style and Class and when she entered a room her Grace and Beauty would Light up the Room. Also she was my Eastern Star Sister of Harriet Tubman Chapter No.64 , PHA of Easton, Pa. She organized a Fashion Show and it was great. Heaven Gained another Beautiful Angel, Rest in Peace my Sister and Friend.

Inez was a beautiful person and a true lady. I've known her since I was about 11 years old. She was my mentor and helped a very shy girl with low self-esteem to find her voice and love herself. I have learned so very much from her. She helped me with enrollment to Barbizon, and modeling, she was our debutante leader and friend. Inez will always be in my heart. Rest in peace dear, love "Little One"

I met Ms. Jackson through my employer. She trusted me enough to ask for my help with putting away her 100+ collection of Christmas decor. I spent very valuable time with her, and learned so much about her adventures around the world. We later found out we may be distantly related via South Carolina. I then started calling her "Auntie." It was a pleasure getting to know her. She will be missed.

I just learned of Zeni's passing this evening from a dear mutual friend. I got to know Zeni through her work at the Arthritis Foundation in the Lehigh Valley. She was a wonderful professional with great ideas and even greater zest for what she did. She will be truly missed by all her family and friends.

My deepest sympathies to the family as I just learned of the sad news. I knew Zeni from working with her on events at Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg, NJ. She was always full of energy and wonderful ideas. She will truly be missed.

Rest easy Inez, you will truly be missed.

Loved Zeni like she were my own family, my own friend, my own mother. I cared for her since last fall. Happily cleaned her home, ran errands, took her to doctor appointments, prepped her kitchen for her last Thanksgiving, helped her decorate for her last Christmas, encouraged her, hugged her...I just learned of the news today and had to take a walk to calm myself. My condolences to her sons and inlays, cousins. Plz inform me when there are services if possible. 908.878 2783♡ hugs to you all. I cant even imagine what you all are going through. God bless you all :(
