Jimmie was a lady of grace and dignity and was a humble servant to others. She enjoyed playing golf and bridge.

The family would like to express our great appreciation to the wonderful and loving caregivers at the Carillon.
She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, brothers and sisters.
Survivors include two daughters, Cindy and husband Jack of Lubbock and Cathy of Canyon.

She also leaves behind Mitzi Jordan, sister-in-law, and many more precious family and friends, including Elva Champion of Petersburg.
