Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service in Grenada for Mrs. Sheila Nyree Jackson Jarrell, 51, of Grenada, who died Friday, May 17, at her residence. Burial followed in Elam Cemetery near Coffeeville. The Rev. Rickey Harris and the Rev. Truman Scarborough officiated. The family received friends from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening and one hour prior to the service at McKibben and Guinn.
Nyree was born September 7, 1972, in Charleston, to Howard and Sheila Dahl Jackson. She spent her entire working life in service to her fellow man. She started her career as a Paramedic and later became a Registered Nurse. For more than 25 years, Nyree took the skills she learned and taught them to every student or new provider that crossed her path. She was the calm in the chaos for many. At home, she built a life around spending time with and caring for her husband, children and grandson. She gave selflessly to others and was always willing to help those in need. She was a member of Tillatoba Baptist Church. Her legacy will live on through every life she touched.
Nyree is preceded in death by her father, Howard Jackson Jr., and her husband, Eddie Edward Jarrell.
Survivors include two daughters, Ronlyn Jarrell and Mali Jarrell of Grenada; son, Jackson Jarrell (Emily) of Grenada; mother, Sheila Jackson of Tillatoba; sister, Christy Reeves (Mickey) of Oakland; brother, Henry Jackson (Shea) of Tillatoba; grandson, E.J. Jarrell of Grenada and three nephews, Lee Jackson, Adam Reeves and Jonathan Reeves.
