Lela Sharon Jackson

Sharon grew up in Sutton, West Virginia with her family Gilbert, Lena, Wayne, Jack, Curly, Karen, Warren, and Pop. Following the passing of her parents, Sharon devoted herself to caring for her siblings, a responsibility that spoke to her deep love for her family. Through her dedication and perseverance, she went on to graduate from Sutton High School in 1963, a milestone that reflected her resilience. It was at this time she left to marry Eldridge Clyde Jackson, committing to a marriage that would span 42 years. Together they built a family; welcoming 5 kids; Ruby, Becky, Lizzy, Ralph (Buster), and Andy Jackson. Her family continued to grow and was blessed with 19 grandkids, and 12 great-grandchildren. She loved her nieces and nephews as if they were her own, making sure they knew they always had a place in her home.

She spent more than 35 years working in retail beginning at TG&Y before eventually retiring from Big Lots in October of 2020. Many of her customers affectionally referred to her as "mom," or "grandma", a testament to the warmth she showed to those around her. She found joy in collecting clowns, travel spoons, and pigs. She enjoyed cross-stitching, admiring and growing flowers, and creating the magic of Christmas. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her family. She cherished large family gatherings where stories were shared, memories were made, and everyone had a place.
