It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Chanell Denise Jackson, who left this world peacefully to join the Lord on June 7, 2026, at the age of 46. Chanell's journey began on December 15, 1979, in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, Nevada, where she was born to her loving parents, Louise Lee and Raymond Terry Atkins. Chanell was blessed with a spirited life filled with love, laughter, and devotion to her faith. She was a graduate of Valley High School in Las Vegas, where she formed the foundation of her lifelong love for learning and music. Chanell's career saw her working diligently in various clerk positions across Las Vegas, where her mastery of music knowledge and her exceptional ear for instruments always shone through. With her infectious humor and zest for life, she was often considered a hometown comedian, bringing joy and laughter to all who were fortunate enough to know her. A devout and faithful servant of God, Chanell was baptized at the tender age of 9, dedicating her life to the Lord's will. Her deep and abiding love for the LORD was evident in every aspect of her life, inspiring those around her to find strength in their own faith. Chanell was a woman of many passions. She loved to talk, often engaging in conversations that could last for hours, filling the room with her vibrant energy. Her love for music, cooking, and spending quality time with her family were just a few of the ways she expressed her joy for life. Known for her radiant smile and humor that could light up any room, Chanell had a unique ability to make people laugh until they were on the floor. She is survived by her two cherished daughters, Constance Lewis and Chamari Bennett, and her adored grandson, Jonah Wilson. Chanell also leaves behind her devoted mother, Louise Lee, her father, Thomas Lee, her sister, Toby Williams Jackson, and her brothers, Ahmad Atkins and Terrance Lee. Her legacy continues through her nieces and nephews—Charity Griffin, Samya Ethridge, Davion Hambrick, Ahmad Atkins, and Azariah Atkins—along with a host of aunts, cousins, and countless friends who loved her dearly. Chanell was predeceased by her father, Raymond Terry Jackson; her brother, Chris Atkins; her grandmother, Judie "Sally" Mae; her grandfather, Morris "Bo" Jackson; her aunt, Earline Strickland (Strick); her Uncle Ricky Jackson,her brother-in-law, Shun Williams; and her special close cousins, Kareem and Sean Buchanan. Their memories and the love they shared will forever remain in our hearts. In honor of Chanell's life and her enduring spirit, a memorial fund has been established at Andres Family Funeral Home. Contributions to this fund will help celebrate the life of a woman who brought so much light and laughter to the world. As we say goodbye to our dear Chanell, we take comfort in the knowledge that she is now in the loving embrace of the Lord, reunited with those who went before her. Her laughter, love, and faith will remain with us, guiding us as we navigate the days ahead. Chanell Denise Jackson touched the lives of everyone she met, and her memory will be cherished forever.
