Evergreen Memorial Park

Went to visit my aunts and, my mothers graves..

This cemetery is okay, a lot of my family is resting here. My only gripe is that I wish they would trim around the headstones as well as we raise some of the headstones that have sunk over time without you having to call them to do so. Again, the staff is very friendly, the negative is, the upkeep on the grounds isn't done like it should be.

My brother is buried here 😢⚰🕊🌹

Resting place for Mabel Louise “Big Maybelle” Smith. "Born circa 1924 in Jackson, Tennessee, "Big Maybelle" became a powerful Rhythm & Blues Singer. With her emotive delivery, and as one of the premier R&B chanteuses of the 1950s, she served as an essential link between raucous 1950s R&B and the soul sounds that emerged in the next decade. Her recordings include Candy, which received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999, and the original version of Whole Lot of Shakin Going On. Her career led her to sing at the famous Apollo Theatre in New York City. She died January 23, 1972 in Cleveland, Ohio, and later buried there in Evergreen Cemetery. In 2011 Smith was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame." - from the Tennessee State Historical marker, located in Jackson, TN.
