Sharon Tabbert

Sharon Ann Baker Magill Tabbert, age 73, of Dallas, Texas left this earthly realm to be lovingly welcomed back to her eternal home with Jesus on November 1st, 2025, with her children by her side. Sharon was the beloved daughter to Wanda and Willard Baker, born on December 27th, 1951 in Dallas, Texas, where she was raised and later raised her own 5 children. Sharon was a warm and comforting light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her journey on this Earth was one marked by love, compassion, hilarious stories, and unwavering faith in God. Sharon is survived and missed by her 5 children; Her son Nathan Magill and his wife Stacey and their children Benjamin, Elizabeth, and Sarah. Her daughter Amie and her husband Andrew Deregge and their daughters Molly and Madeleine; and Jack Sullivan, father of Sharon's great grandchildren Jack and Ellie. Her son Seth Magill and his wife Anastasia and their children Tara, Marlow, and Willa. Her daughter Alecia Dickerson and her children Libby, Logan, June and Olivia. Her daughter Abbey and her husband Drew Wall. Sharon is also survived by her mother Wanda Baker, her brothers Jim and Danny Baker, her nieces and nephews Rachel and Curran Baker, Heather Reim, and Hosea Baker. She also leaves many other family members and friends who will miss her. Sharon was born and raised in the best part of Dallas, White Rock Lake. Her loving and sympathetic heart was evident even as a child, doing whatever she could to make sure all beings, and even inanimate objects, felt love. Even going as far as to cry in the piano store when her parents were shopping for a piano. They wanted a grand piano but Sharon was concerned for the lesser than grand piano. Thinking others would overlook its beauty- she insisted that her parents buy that one. She lived her life in this way, always concerned about the wellbeing of others, especially the ones often overlooked. Sharon's longings and desires for love were fulfilled when she came to know Jesus. She wrote, "I finally knew and realized so deep within my being His love for me. He touched me with warmth and peace so deep within. I felt a healing in my heart l'd never known." Sharon's heart's desire was to share the love of Jesus with whoever would listen, going to places like Lee Park and concerts as a young adult to share His message with her bible study friends. This is where she met Larry Magill, the father of her 5 children. Raising her family gave her so much joy. She often referred to the times of raising her small children as "the best time of my life.” She was completely devoted to her family. She showed up, always. To every game, every performance, every celebration, even if it meant driving several hours to get there. Sharon was a proud and deeply involved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She loved her children and grandchildren massively and they felt it every single day. She would say, "a good mom makes every child feel like they're her favorite," and her favorite was a title everyone fought for. Sharon had a special charm for making occasions and celebrations unforgettable. She really knew how to throw a party! Birthdays, baby showers, family gatherings- she knew how to pour love into it, making it memorable and lively- often with live music! Christmas was her speciality. In wintertime her home was full of magic and joy. Everything she touched had a certain glow about it. Her home was always full, always warm, and always ready for one more plate at the table. She worked at SMU Law School for 35 years, where she formed friendships with many, including her best friend, Debbie Seiter. Her retirement party was a reflection of the joy she brought to others, filled with laughter and stories shared by colleagues who adored her. She was proud of her Native American and Irish roots. She loved celebrating her heritage by attending the annual Native American Pow Wow and the North Texas Irish Festival every year. She loved travelling, her favorite place being Ireland, where she got to visit multiple times. She loved a homey pub and singing along to traditional Irish music. She modeled what it meant to be a loving daughter by taking her mother breakfast every morning, spending Saturdays caring and running errands with her, and even after becoming sick- still making sure someone else in the family would tend to her. Her mother was always on her mind and they were so blessed to spend Sharon's last months together at CC Young and The Villages in Lake Highlands. Those who knew Sharon will remember her for her warmth, her stories, her deep rooted faith in Jesus, and her commitment to ensuring that everyone she encountered was fed and felt loved. Her legacy is one of steadfast love, celebration, faith and family. Forever treasured, deeply missed, lovingly remembered. We were all blessed and highly favored just to know her. The Celebration of Life service to honor Sharon will be held on her heavenly birthday, December 27th, 2025 at Arts Mission Oak Cliff.All of Sharon's friends and loved ones are encouraged to come celebrate. 2:30pm at 410 S Windomere Ave Dallas, TX 75208
