Jimmy Baxley

Jimmy Walton Baxley CHESAPEAKE - Jimmy Walton "Pop Pop" Baxley, 73, years young, passed peacefully into the arms of our Savior Jesus, and the waiting arms of his mother, Beulah MacLaughlin and brothers, Lyle Baxley and Robert Baxley on July 6, 2010. He was surrounded by his loving family as he drew his final breath. The family who owe their being to this kind and gentle soul are his loving wife of 52 years, Jeanette "Jet" Baxley; daughters, Pamela Sue Baxley Carrera (Roger) of Moyock, N.C., and Barbara Baxley of Virginia Beach; grandchildren, Nicole Lauren, Caitlin Elise, Kendal Paige, Kevin Kyle and Olivia Faith. Pop Pop always made people laugh and had a wonderful sense of play. He was a simple country boy who grew up on a tobacco farm in Bladenboro, N.C., and moved his young wife to Princess Anne County in 1958 in search of opportunity. He was a man who believed in hard work and family. Thankfully he was able to enjoy his retirement years with "Jet" by his side. The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center's ICU especially Dr. Vas, his nurses and Chaplin Marie Pogorelec. Services locally will be Saturday, July 10 at 11 a.m. in Woodlawn Funeral Home in Norfolk with viewing Friday July 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. Pop Pop will be laid to rest beside his big brother Lyle on the family farm in Bladenboro. Woodlawn Funeral Home, 6329 E. Virginia Beach Blvd., Norfolk, is in charge. Condolences may be offered to the family online at www.woodlawngroup.com.
