Jimmie was a friend since childhood. I only new her as an adult on FB. I loved reading her advice on vitamins and stuff. To the family: She is well now and healthy and happy with God. Take Care. Beverly Cornell

I met Jimmie in high school at Arvin and became close to her there (as part of her entourage). I love Jimmie and will always remember her fondly. She was brave, driven, and had a personality that all loved. I am grateful to have known her and in recent months, to catch up on old times and new. She made a difference in my life. Thank you, Jimmie!

I had not seen Jimmie in a long time but I had the pleasure of working w/her at CRB. She was such a good person, very patient and kind. I truly cherish having spent those years working next to her. God's speed Jimmie. Love Lydia (Gamez) Valdez.

My heart goes out to the whole family.. I feel honored to have had the pleasure to know such a strong and courageous friend. I will always treasure her ability to find laughter in despair. She was pretty darn funny! She will live forever in my heart and I will carry her spirit with me daily. I know that she will be with the family always and surprise you often.

Although I currently live close to Jimmie, I was not aware of it until I heard from Lorie Sherman. Jimmie was one of my staff at California Republic Bank and a valuable employee. I was so sorry to hear about her death and she was not only a great employee, but ONE GREAT PERSON!!

Jimmie was a great person to work with,
whether she was your supervisor or fellow employee. She was both to me at California Republic Bank. I have nothing but good memories of her. I hope the memories that she has left to her family will comfort them through this time.

In the early 80's, Jimmie and I played on George Simpsons Chrysler Dodge softball team. We were number 1. I will never forget her peaceful nature, smile, and beautiful hair. Until we meet again...Rest In Peace.

Jimmie was in several of my classes in high school & had such a zest for life, such a fun person. I keep thinking of the expression, "Only the good die young" & how many "good" people we have lost w-a-y too soon. Rest in peace, Jimmie. Hopefully family & friends will find that peace soon also.

I worked with Jimmie at California Republic Bank for years and we played softball together. I was so shocked to see that she had passed away. Jimmie was a wonderful person! I loved her friendship and will miss her. My prayers are with your family! Draw close to Jesus and He will help you through this time.
