Jaime Taber Ball
Funeral services for Jaime Taber Ball, 43, West Plains, Missouri, will be held at 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, October 30, 2024, in the Rose Chapel at Robertson-Drago Funeral Home.
Mrs. Ball passed away at 8:45 a.m., Friday, October 25, 2024, at her home.
She was born March 11, 1981, at Birmingham, Alabama. Jaime was born to do two things in life; teaching was a passion she held from the age of five when she lined up her stuffed animals in front of her “teacher’s desk” and educated them to the rules of her classroom. Teaching was her passion, but her family was her life. No mother on earth loved her children and husband more than Jaime. She married the love of her life, Brandon, and never took for granted how blessed their relationship was. She absolutely lived for her three boys, Dalton, Peyton and Weston. She continued to brag on them so much they had to finally forbid her to put anymore posts about them on Facebook. Then when her boys were 20, 17 and 14, while in the middle of finishing her master’s degree along came Annaston, a true little blessing. She said just the week before she passed away, “I am happier than I have ever been in my life, and the most blessed person on the planet.” Jaime’s deep faith in God guided every decision she made and she was a living example of everything good. Her life was so full and all of us left behind will try to live up to half of the example of unconditional love and dedication to family she portrayed every single day.
She is survived by her husband, Brandon; three sons, Dalton, Peyton and Weston; daughter, Annaston; and her mother, Joyce Taber.
Her father, Doug Taber, preceded her in death.
As much as she loved us all, our love for her is boundless and will remain so forever.
Burial will be in Barnett Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Jaime Ball Memorial Scholarship fund and may be left at or mailed to Robertson-Drago Funeral Home, 211 West Main, West Plains, MO 65775 or any West Plains Bank & Trust Company location. Honoring Jaime’s legacy through education, this scholarship will support students who embody Jaime’s values, empowering them to pursue their dreams through education.

Jaime and I went to college together in West Plains. She lived in the dorm the same time I did. She always was such a nice and kind person and always had a smile on her face. Prayers for the family as you cope with your loss.

Oh my gosh. Where do I even start. Mrs ball, I’m gonna miss you sm. You were an amazing 7th grade teacher. You made such an impact on my life. You were one of the best. I knew I could trust you from talking to you about drama or just in general, taking test retakes. All I know is the eighth grade class is grieving for your family. Especially your kids, and all I’ve thought today is how your sweet baby girl is gonna grow up without a mama. That’s hurt me the most. I have so many memories with you that im forever grateful for! It’s gonna be rough getting over this. It’s so sad. You went way too early. You were only 43. I love you Mrs ball.
