Nevada Bizzard Jackson

March 10, 2015 - Leave a Condolence

Mrs. Nevada Jackson was born in Richmond Hill, Georgia on August 12, 1930 to Mr. Fred Bizzard and Mrs. Julia Adams Bizzard. Being reared in a large family, she always cherished the very special and close relationship she had with her parents, brothers (George, Luches, Anthony, James, Eli and Eddie) and sisters (Elise and Alberta).

Her education began in the public schools of Bryan County later graduating from Alfred Ely Beach High School in 1948. She attended Savannah Technical School for a year before making the decision to go into the Nursing Field. Her love of caring for others was not only displayed in her choice of careers, but later in her life, she took on the task of moving her family into a larger home so that she could take care of her mother during her aging years.

On June 26, 1956, Nevada married her long time school mate and love, Joseph Nathaniel Gardner Sr. (deceased). During this union, Nevada and Joe were blessed with three children; Joseph Jr., Sylvia and Vernon. They provided a loving environment for their children that strongly stressed spiritual and educational development. In addition to Nursing, she also became a very proficient Beautician and created a salon within her home. While handling two careers, she still managed to stay intimately involved in the lives of her children by actively participating in the Parent Teacher Associations throughout her children’s school years.

During the later years in her life, she married John H Jackson (deceased) in 1983. He provided stability and a strong spiritual presence during their union.

As a part of her spiritual journey, she became a baptized member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah Witness on June 24, 2006. Even though she was confined to a wheel chair, she attended services faithfully with the help of her daughter and members until her health prevented her from attending. Even then, she learned how to dial into services and was an active participant during the discussions.

Throughout her life, Nevada was known for her love of others as demonstrated in her role as a caregiver, mother, grandmother and foster mother. She was also known for her culinary skills in the kitchen. At all of our family gatherings, everyone loved her red rice, fried fish, pound cakes and Vernon’s favorite, “German Chocolate cake”. She was also a lover of “hats” during her younger years. For any and every occasion, she would always make sure that she wore an originally designed hat.

Nevada was a special gift to all of us and we will always cherish her memories. She leaves to mourn her children, Joseph Gardner Jr., Sylvia Cobb, and Vernon Gardner (Charlotte); one brother, Eli Bizzard of Augusta, Ga.; one sister-in-law, Carrie Bell Bizzard of Savannah, Ga.; eight grandchildren; one great grandchild and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.

In his youngerdays, he was known as “Davy”, to some he was known as “Heavy”, to others he was known as “Flub”, and to his dearly departed grandfather David Spann,along with a host of other family members, he was simply known as “Wham”

As a child, Dennis was compassionate, caring, and full of Life, laughter, and fun. He never met a stranger, and he was always the life of the party. Dennis always had a witty sense of humor and a charm about himself that hardly anyone who knew him could resist. He had a way of making you believe that whatever he was saying was “true” even when you knew in your head that it just wasn’t possible. He was cool like that.

He attended school at Savannah High, where there he participated in the band as a drummer. In addition to the playing the drums, he had a beautiful voice and he played a mean saxophone. A few years later he married Trisha McGill and became a father to four beautiful children to whom he loved more than anything.

Later in life Dennis became a mason, he took pride in being a part of the brotherhood and was ecstatic about being a part of such a profound organization. He worked for several years as the manager of operations at R.S.T Care Service, and later as a painter at Thunderbolt Marina. Shortly after his time at R.S.T Care Service, his life shifted in a different direction and he and Trisha decided to part ways. He later met Mungera Cash and welcomed her and her beautiful daughter Azora into his life. He proposed marriage to Mungera and was anticipating spending the rest of his life with her.

Dennis was called home suddenly on February 16, 2015 at St. Joseph/Candler Hospital of Savannah, GA.

He is preceded in death by maternal grandparents, Ruby Smith Spann, David Isaiah Spann and paternal grandmother, Mary Dean Daniels. He leaves to cherish his memory, His Love and companion: Mungera Cash of Aiken, SC. Daughters: Keavante McGill, Tiana McGill, Denise Polite of Savannah, GA; Azora Cash of Aiken, SC: Son: Dennis T. Polite II: Parents: Joan Gilliard (Ronald) of Savannah, GA, Dennis T.
