A celebration of life for Columbia attorney Claudia Jack has been set for Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Columbia. The family will have a private service and burial later in the week. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Peters Episcopal Church in Columbia, 311 West Seventh Street, Columbia, TN 38401 or St John’s Churchyard in Ashwood, 1116 West Seventh Street, PMB75, Columbia, TN 38401. The longtime public defender for Tennessee’s 22nd Judicial District died Friday morning in Nashville. Prior to her election to the public defender post in 1998, Jack clerked for Tennessee Supreme Court Justice William J. Harbison and served as an assistant district attorney. She then joined her husband, Billy C. Jack, in the Jack and Jack law firm. Read more about her life and career from Oakes and Nichols Funeral Directors.
