She was a member of Ephesus Baptist Church in Shelbyville. Jimmie's love for each and every one was truly larger than life itself and her love for God poured out through her generosity and her sweet smile and loving touch. She gave us all strength and courage to survive all of the roads through our lifes journeys to stand together and to be strong. She loved singing and humming songs and most importantly, reading the Bible, sitting on the front porch in the mornings drinking coffee and watching the animals. She also loved fishing and spending time with family and friends. She was the most loving, caring and selfless woman. So many speak of unconditional love, our mother showed it daily in her life. We remember her laughing many times when we were out as a family shrimping all the way down the pier and my dad would say the phone is ringing and mom would take off running half way up the pier before realizing there is no phone out here. She was a wonderful cook she made the best homemade biscuits of anyone. She loved the outdoors, her flowers and plants, and all her stray and wild cats. She enjoyed playing games and the company of her friends.
