Publish in a newspaper
Jessie was born on June 24, 1947, in Grandview, TN. Her parents were the late Earl Brady and Lois Eva Burnett.
Jessie married Stanley E. Holmes on December 14, 1963. The couple were blessed with two wonderful sons – Eddie Dean Holmes and Joseph Clinton Holmes, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Just shy of 62 years together, Jessie and Stanley resided primarily in Ponchatoula, LA, and then later in the Flat Creek community of Bedford County, TN. Jessie loved life but thrived at her two favorite pastimes: yard work (including indoor plants) and cooking for family and friends.
Jessie is preceded in death by her parents, three sisters and two brothers.
She is survived by her husband, Stanely Holmes; sons: Eddie Dean Holmes and Joseph (Dori) Holmes; three grandchildren: Derek Joseph (Ella) Holmes, Cynthia Evelyn (John) Robinson and Caleb Joseph Thaggard; two great-grandchildren: Iris Holmes and John Asaph Robinson; brother, Marvin Brady; and three sisters: Sue (Ralph) Link, Virginia and Nancy. She is also survived numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
