Jimmy enjoyed extensive traveling abroad including Japan, Germany, Italy, France and her beloved Ireland.  Jimmy was a devoted Army wife and mother, always managing numerous homes for her family through out many moves to and from military assignments.  After Al's retirement rom active duty, Jimmy and family settled in Mount Pleasant for over the past 40 years.  It was here that Jimmy enjoyed crabbing and fishing with family and friends from her dock on Charleston Harbor; a love of which she learned during her childhood, spending the summer months on Sullivan's Island.
