Obituary
Daily Democrat, Clinton MO - Mrs Jennie May Sheek, 100, died Tuesday, October 20, 1992, at the Golden Valley Hospital in Clinton. She was a lifelong Henry County resident in the Leesville community.
Jennie M Sheek, 100 years, six months and twenty-one days old, passed from this life to her eternal home in glory on October 20, 1992. She was the daughter of William (Uncle Billy) and Laura (Gray) Briggs. In 1912 she was married to Robert (Bob Ike) Sheek, who preceded her in death in August of 1959. To this union three children were born, Doris (Mrs Wallace Dundas), Reva June (Mrs Ira T Mallory), and Morris (Shorty) Sheek. Jennie was saved at the age of ten and was baptized in the Tebo Creek and joined the Tebo Baptist Church in 1902. This church was founded by her forefathers. She remained a faithful member all of her life, living in the Leesville community in her own home, then with her daughter June because of her failing eyesight. The past three years, when her health failed, she became a member of the family at Westwood Nursing Center in Clinton. The joy of Jennie's life was her family and her church. She was faithful with her tithe of all her time and possessions. On her 100th birthday, in March 1992, she requested that any gifts be designated to the Tebo Baptist Church Building Fund. This money was a great help in the construction of a new fellowship hall at the church. Her wish at this time would be the same. That any memorials be given to the Building Fund of the church. Survivors include the three before mentioned children, eleven grandchildren; thirty-one great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren, plus a host of relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, five brothers and two sisters. Funeral services were held Friday, October 23, 1992, at the Tebo Baptist Church. Pall bearers were grandsons, Dennis Dundas, Ronald Mallory, Randy Sheek, Robbie Sheek, Charles Kidwiler, Jim Shepard. Burial was in Tebo Cemetery.
