Camilla, born August 14, 1930, was the 9th of 10 children born to the late Norman and Grace Jackson in Baltimore, Maryland. Nestled in the warmth and security of a large loving family, she had a very happy childhood chronicled in her many scrapbooks and photo albums. She often spoke glowingly of the closeness not only in her home but also in her community as many of her extended family lived in the same neighborhood and they visited each other from house to house.

Along with the love, Camilla's childhood was buttressed with principles and structure. Education, promptness, grace, and manners were standards regularly taught and reinforced on a firm foundation of faith in God.

Camilla was educated in the Baltimore City School System. Always driven to excellence, Camilla, achieved high honors throughout primary, secondary, and high school. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Coppin State College where she was class valedictorian and later earned her master's from Johns Hopkins University along with additional credentials in Advance Study and Education from Loyola University.

During her career she served as classroom teacher, demonstration teacher for teachers of disadvantaged children at Morgan State College, supervising teacher assistant principal and principal, retiring in 1983. Her educational career was marked by the utmost integrity, deep loyalty, high professional ethics, and a deep abiding love and appreciation for children, teachers, and parents whom she served.

Camilla held membership at Unity Methodist Church, Metropolitan Methodist Church, Saint James Episcopal Church, and Christ Episcopal Church on Kent Island. She was a church schoolteacher and served on various committees in the church assuming many leadership roles.

Despite her busy schedule with her family, church, and community, she still devoted time to hobbies and organization affiliations. She was active in many organizations such as the Commission on Aging, Chester Homemakers, Lambda Kappa Mu Sorority, Maryland State Teachers Association, Retired Teachers of Maryland, American Association of Retired Persons, Christ Church Altar Guild, and Queen Anne's County Hospice, just to name a few.
