Jessie Armstrong

ARMSTRONG, Jessie, On Friday, April 1, 2011, the gates of Heaven swung open wide as a faithful servant went home to be with her Savior, Lord, and King. Jessie Armstrong, 92 years young, is survived by her sons, Edwin (Angela) and Melvin (Noemi); three grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
