Mrs. Jimmie loved her Lord and Savior, her family and her friends. Her joy was to cook for her family. The grandchildren especially enjoyed her homemade chicken and dumplings and tried to learn how to prepare them like she did. She loved to have friends drop in and always had coffee and pound cake.

She had a true heart of gold! She was blessed to enjoy her life until the end. She touched many lives during her lifetime and leaves many to cherish her memory.
