Billie Dove (Davis) Jackson was born October 10, 1928 in Russell County, Virginia to 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 united in marriage to Roy Woodrow Jackson on February 23, 1946 in Trenton, Missouri and graduated after her marriage, from Galt High School.
Billie 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 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.
Billie is survived by her sons, Ed Jackson of Galt, Tim Jackson and wife Linda of Tina, MO, and Toby Jackson of Holdon, MO; her grandsons, Jeremy Jackson and wife Tosha of Lawson, MO and Kyle Jackson and wife Maggie of Columbia, MO; her granddaughters, Shelia Hesler and husband Jaime of Chillicothe, and Jennifer Clevenger and Greg Newton of Sequim, WA; and her 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; brothers, Homer, Cecil, Carmel, Bolus, Jay, and Jeff Jr. Davis; and sisters, Blanch Bourne, Dorothy Smith, and Connie Fuller.
