Jimmie had a multifaceted career that spanned for over 45 years. Most of her work experience was spent as a supervisor at Foley's and as a professional hairstylist. Jimmie also exercised her God-given musical gifts as an active choir member at Greater Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church, under the leadership of the late Rev. Ernest Gibbs and Rev. W.L. Martin. In 1985, Jimmie and her family joined New Faith Church under the leadership of Dr. T.R. Williams, Sr., and Dr. Andre J. Lewis, where she continued to serve as a devoted member of the Voices of Faith Choir, under the direction of the late Rev. Ronald J. Materre, and Min. Christopher Watkins.
Jimmie was preceded in death by her husband, Harry L. Davis, Sr. and her parents, James Coleman and Zora Lee Tolson.
On Thursday, July 24, 2025, Jimmie answered God's call from labor to reward.
