Charissa Anne

Jackson

Charissa Anne (Mosier) Jackson, passed away peacefully in the morning hours of November 4, 2026, in Tavares, Florida, surrounded by the unwavering love of her family.

Born on June 7, 1959, in Rushville, Indiana, to James W. and Marilyn E. (Leisure) Mosier, Risa’s life was a beautiful journey, rich with purpose, steadfast dedication, and  a life that profoundly touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Raised amidst the quiet rural farmlands of Indiana alongside her sister Denise, she developed a profound sense of love and compassion from an early age. She married her high school sweetheart and lifelong partner, Jeffrey Scott Jackson, on September 2, 1978, forging a bond that stood the test of time and countless cherished memories. Risa dedicated many years as a bank teller, where every customer became a friend; she truly never knew a stranger. Those who knew her were fortunate to receive her generous and abundant love.

Her greatest joy was undoubtedly her family—cheering passionately for her grandchildren, Elizabeth and Matthew, and cherishing every precious moment spent with them.

She leaves behind her son, James Jackson; her sister Denise Nelis; and her treasured grandchildren, Elizabeth and Matthew, as well as a generous circle of extended family and friends whose lives she touched.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of nearly 50 years, Jeffrey Jackson, and her loving parents, James & Marilyn Mosier.

She will be laid to rest alongside Jeff and other family members on a little hill in rural Indiana near the place where it all began; a place where they will rest together for eternity. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that you send your heartfelt thoughts and prayers.
