Lashadae Nicole Jackson

LaShadae Nicole Jackson, age 36 of Elkhart, passed unexpectedly on Friday, February 11, 2022.  LaShadae was born October 21, 1985, in Elkhart, Indiana.  She attended Elkhart Central High School and was employed for many years in retail sales as a customer service care representative.

A celebration of life will be held from 12pm-3pm Saturday, February 26, 2022, at Cruz Family Funeral Home in Osceola.

In her younger years, LaShadae loved to attend church with her grandmother and spoke of her love for the Lord often.  Her outgoing personality shined wherever she went.  She loved doing her makeup, wearing bright and colorful clothing and spending time with her family, singing and dancing around her home, much to the enjoyment of her children.  Her big, bright, beautiful smile and positive attitude towards lifting others up in their time of need was a trait she passed along to her children. She will be remembered fondly by her family and friends.
