Jimmie DUKE Obituary
83, passed away December 13, 2016. He was born in Beulah, FL, and raised in Pensacola, FL, where he married the love of his life, Johnnie Faye Mayo, in 1951. He served his country for eight years in the United States Air Force. During his service he was in Japan, Korea, and Hawaii. Upon his discharge in 1962, he worked 25 years for Honeywell International in Pinellas County. During their lives together, Jimmie and Johnnie Faye raised two daughters and enjoyed many adventures in various modes of travel. These included touring 49 of the United Sates in their motor home (allowing him to visit all 50 states in the USA), a month-long, self-guided tour of Western Europe, Egypt to see the Great Pyramids, Russia and Eastern Europe during the cold war, and four months aboard a freighter circumnavigating the world. Jimmie is preceded in death by Johnnie Faye. He is survived by his daughter, Shirley and her family, Steve, Stephanie, Jeffrey (Tabitha), Georgia, Connor, and Taylor; and his daughter, Linda and her family, Richard, Anthony (Rochelle). Please join Jimmie's family for a picnic lunch celebrating his life January 14, 11 am-3 pm, at one of Jimmie's favorite places, Ft. De Soto Park at shelter #2, in Pinellas County. In keeping with Jimmie's request of no flowers, memorial donations may be sent to either The Alzheimer's Association or The Salvation Army.
