With grace and quiet strength, Anniepearl “Marie” Jenkins / Jackson / Beatie (AKA: Boo), age 76, of Kenosha, closed the doors on this earthly journey & stepped into eternal glory as she passed away peacefully, surrounded with love of family, in on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha. We know she is in a better place with her Heavenly Father.
Anniepearl was born in Kenosha, WI on July 10, 1949 to the late Ernest Eugene Barnes and Elsie Ruth (nee: Jenkins) James. A graduate of Washington Park High School, Marie went on to serve our communities as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Zion Benton Hospital in Zion, IL and Ascension – St. Luke’s Medical Center in Racine, WI. In 1967, she married Henry Jackson, Jr. From that union they had a daughter, Shannon Marie Jackson and Vincent Lamont Jackson. On September 22, 1983, Marie was united in marriage with Melvin Beatie. From that union, their daughter, Tiffany Shay Beatie / Powell was born. Melvin preceded Marie in death on April 10, 2021.
At the age of 12 years old, she joined Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Warren, Arkansas. Marie was a proud and longtime member of Blessings Center Outreach Ministry Church – Kenosha, WI under the leadership of Bishop E.N. Cooksey. With a great passion for helping others, Marie also served as a loving & amazing foster mother to over 30 children over a span of 11 years. Dressing up fancy, Cadillacs, going out to eat, long phone calls, dancing, cooking, casino outings and spending every available moment with family is what Marie enjoyed most.

Sending love to my cousin Tiffany and my double cousins (insider) Vincent & Shannon, and to all of our family. I love you all so much. I’m going to miss Marie deeply. It hurts knowing none of us knew the battle she was facing.
I keep thinking back to when all of us, my mom, Mickey, me, Marie, Tiffany, and Melvin, were staying in my mom’s small apartment. We were packed in like sardines, but we always made room for family. That’s who we are, and that’s how it will always be.
Remember, God is close to the brokenhearted. Lean on Him!
