Sheere was born March 26, 1958 in Swifton, Arkansas, the only child of Boyce and Retha (Smith) Taylor. On March 14, 1981, she was united in marriage to Denny Jackson in Columbus, Mississippi. In the years following, she became a very devoted Christian wife, mom and Nana. She was a member of the United Methodist Church in Archie, MO.

Sheere's most cherished memories were made around the family she held most dear. She enjoyed spending time at family gatherings, shopping with her daughters, watching movies with her husband and playing with her grandkids. Sheere was a loving and much loved daughter, wife, mother, sister-in-law, aunt and nana. Those who knew her best, and even those who knew her briefly, were blessed by her warm smile and her uplifting spirit, even in the toughest of times.

Those welcoming her home will be her father, Boyce Taylor and her grandparents, Jess and Ola Taylor and Steve and Louise Smith. She is survived by her mother, Retha (Smith) Taylor Runsick of Jonesboro, Arkansas; her husband, Denny Jackson of the home; two daughters, Amanda Briggs and her husband, Brian of Belton, MO and Tabitha Jackson of the home; three grandchildren, Jayce and Kaylee Briggs of Belton, MO and Hayden Hatton, due to arrive soon; numerous aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Sheere will truly be missed by all.
