Jimill Gary

Jimill Gary-Justice, age 63, of Spring Lake, North Carolina, passed away on August 31, 2025, while surrounded by the love and support of her children and husband.
Jimill was born on December 21, 1961, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the late John Rayford Gary and Margie Ann Gary. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Demetrius Gary; her grandson, Ray Forde; siblings, John Gary, Damone Anderson, Cynthia Gary, and her cherished cat, Star.
Jimill leaves to cherish her memory her husband, Tyrone Ricardo Justice, Sr.; her children, Darrell Johns, Denise Johns, Raynett Johns, Ngozi Igbokwe, Jermaine Justice, and Phillip Matthews; her many grandchildren, including Destiny Johns, Deja Johns, Sultan Johns, Nikia Frazier, Princesses Forde, Rayshawn Forde, Denise Forde, Raymond Forde, LeVar Spence, LeNaya Spence, LeGend Spence, Joseph Wilson, Marceppe Dillard, Jayden Justice, Jermaine Justice, Jr.; and her great-grandchildren, Sincere Sanders, Sultan Aalim Johns, Rakeem Sanders, Jahsir Wilson, Jamar Durham Wilson, Anthony Wilson, Kingston Justice, and Sayuri Forde; her siblings, Karren Henderson, Geanetta Turner-Gary, and Yvonne Gary-Perkins along with a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.
Family was always at the center of Jimill's life. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. She raised her children and grandchildren with warmth, guidance, and fierce protection, always putting their well-being before her own. Known for her generous heart, she wanted to be there for everyone whenever she could. Jimill was a woman of strength, style, and devotion. She grew up in Philadelphia then moved to California as a young child, where she lived from 1962 until 1995, before returning home to Philadelphia. She eventually settled in Spring Lake, North Carolina three years ago with her beloved husband of 17 years of marriage and 29 years together, Tyrone Ricardo Justice, Sr.
Jimill was full of life and energy. She loved to shop, travel, decorate, and especially enjoyed family events and holidays. She had a talent for cooking and delighted in making meals that brought everyone together. A strong-willed and stylish woman, she loved to look her best, keeping her hair and nails done, and proudly carried herself with grace. She also had a fun, adventurous side-playing spades, collecting treasures, and savoring spicy foods, often eating ghost peppers as if they were potato chips. Her interests were as unique as she was: she loved her yellow banana boat, cherished her elephant collection, and adored the color royal blue. She was a jack of all trades-there was nothing she couldn't do-and she poured her creativity and energy into everything she touched. Above all, Jimill was loyal and deeply devoted to her entire family. She lived her life with love, determination, and an unshakable spirit.
A public viewing will be held on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at Adcock Funeral Home and Crematory in Spring Lake, North Carolina.
Jimill's life was a testament to love, loyalty, and resilience. She will be remembered for her outgoing nature, her laughter, her protective spirit, and the countless ways she touched the lives of those who knew and loved her. Her legacy will live on in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who will continue to carry her strength and love in their hearts.
