She attended Austinville High School where she graduated as salutatorian in 1956. She married John McBride in May of 1956 and had four children, Shelia, Lisa Jo, Johnny, and Amy. She went to work at Mutual Savings in 1973 after her divorce, and later retired from Compass Bank after thirty years, where she was supervisor of two departments in the payment processing center. She enjoyed reading, working in her yard, her beautiful flower beds, and spending time with her grandchildren. Jimmie Ann loved all sports, but her passion was football and her Saturdays were spent glued to the TV keeping up with all the college football scores, especially her beloved Alabama Crimson Tide.
