Billie Dove Davis Jackson, an 87-year-old resident of Trenton, died at 2:05 p.m. on Saturday, April 30, 2016 at Eastview Manor Care Center in Trenton.
Funeral services are scheduled for 2 p.m. on Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at Resthaven Mortuary in Trenton. Burial will follow at Campground Cemetery in Osgood.
Visitation will be one hour prior to the service. Open visitation will begin Tuesday morning, May 3, 2016 at the mortuary.
Mrs. Jackson was born on Oct. 10, 1928 in Russell County, VA, the daughter of Jefferson and Audria Cook Davis. She was a member of the Spring City Baptist Church in Virginia. She moved with her family to Missouri in 1944.
She was married on Feb. 23, 1946 in Trenton to Roy Woodrow Jackson and graduated from Galt High School after her marriage. She worked in the family country store on the Lebanon-Cleveland road in Virginia and worked in her brother’s store in Osgood until her marriage. She thought her most important job was helping her husband, Woody, on the farm and raising their three sons, who she loved so much.
She and her family attended and worked in the Osgood Christian Church.
They lived northwest of Osgood for 18 years before moving southeast of Half Rock and attended both the Christian Church and Baptist Church, as services alternated between the two churches. Due to health reasons, they moved to Trenton in 2000.
Mrs. Jackson is survived by her sons, Ed Jackson of Galt, Tim Jackson and his wife, Linda of Tina and Toby Jackson of Holden; two grandsons, Jeremy Jackson and his wife Tosha, of Lawson and Kyle Jackson and his wife, Maggie of Columbia; two granddaughters, Shelia Hesler and her husband, Jaime of Chillicothe and Jennifer Clevenger and Greg Newton of Sequim, WA; great-grandchildren, Ryker Jackson, Sean and Stephen Hesler, Austin Newton and Savannah Newton; and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband Woody in February 2010; her parents; six brothers, Homer, Cecil, Carmel, Bolus, Jay, and Jeff Jr. Davis; and three sisters, Blanch Bourne, Dorothy Smith and Connie Fuller.
Memorials and contributions are suggested to the Campground Cemetery or Compassus Hospice Care.
