Jessie was born Dec. 17, 1929, to John and Maude Sherrard in Shelby, at the home of a midwife by the name of Dr. Williams. At the time, she had two brothers, the older one, John Jr., and then Tom. In five years, James was born, and then Richard Jerry. Jessie was the only girl in that family of five, and they liked to say she was spoiled. She knew better. It was survival - and she was great at it. She went to school the first few years at a one-room school a short distance north from her father's farm. Beatrice School was open until Jessie went into the fourth grade. Her mother and father rented a house in Galata, and Gladys Scholtz Adamson was her teacher there. Johnnie and Tom already were going to high school in Galata by the time Jessie started school there. She graduated from the eighth grade in Galata, and they drove out to the farm on weekends to work and visit, then went back to Galata on Sundays. After the eighth grade, she stayed with her Grandma Barnes in Shelby, and went to high school there. Ted Fowler and Jessie Sherrard met while attending Shelby High School. After Jessie graduated from high school, she and Ted were married Sept. 12, 1947. They lived with her brother Tom for a time, while Ted helped Tom build his house. Ted and Jessie then worked for Tom and Gen McCracken. Their first year working for them was the year of the flood in 1948. Ted's mother's place had lots of damage from the high water levels. Ted's mother bought a house in Shelby, and Ted and his brother Allen cleaned up the place. Allen then married and Ted took over the place near the Marias River. Carl Fowler lived in a little house on the homestead with Ted and Jessie for a time. When Tiber Dam went in, they moved the buildings and everything up on the hill. Judy, the oldest, was born when they lived down on the Marias. In the 1950s, they lost two babies, a boy and a girl. David was born, and they moved up on the hill where Kathy and Jeanne were born. The children went to school at Union School, about 8 or 9 miles from the house. Later, the children rode the school bus into Shelby, where they all graduated high school. Ted and Jessie had a very loving family. The children and grandchildren worked along with Ted on the farm and Jessie in the house. The kids all married and Ted and Jessie were blessed with eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Jessie belonged to the Pondera-Toole Home Demonstration Club, and was secretary there for a time. Ted and Jessie both belonged to an archery club at Pondera School, south of the Tiber Reservoir. Jessie enjoyed her job working for Home Health, and then independently in Conrad for 16-17 years. She loved her work and the people she worked for. Jessie worked independently until November 2010, when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Jessie was very sad the day she gave up her job. For about seven years, Ted and Jessie belonged to a great group of friends who went dancing in Great Falls, Sun River, Fairfield, Conrad and Chester; these were some of Jessie's favorite memories. Ted and Jessie enjoyed a great life together, and their kids have been so special to the both of them. They helped them so much, and Ted and Jessie loved them unconditionally. When Dr. Harrar was treating her cancer, Jessie took an experimental drug. She hoped these drugs will help other people. Those experimental drugs helped Jessie survive for two years with pancreatic cancer, after doctors gave her six months to live when she was diagnosed. Jessie is survived by her husband; their four children; one brother,; as well as eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
