Jamie was an incredible, mother, grandmother, sister, wife, friend, singer and follower of Christ. She spent many years working for AIG Insurance while raising her 3 daughters with Rome in their 2-bedroom home in Meadowbrook. In addition, she spent a good part of her life sharing her beautiful voice as the lead singer of many Big Bands back in the 30’s and 40’s. She was eloquently called the Louisiana Lark and made an incredible name for herself entertaining and singing at popular places like the Southern Dinner Club in Midtown Houston, or the Broadway Dinner Club on 68th and Broadway in Galveston, TX. She was also an incredible seamstress who due to tight funds, would sew and make a lot of her daughter’s dresses while they grew up. But one of the most important roles Jamie played throughout her life was discipleship for the Lord. She was a member of the Trinity Episcopal Church the 2nd oldest Episcopal Parish in Houston. Jamie was a woman of deep faith, she was no scholar or theologian, but her faith was an integral part of her life. She had crosses in her room and wrote daily notes in all her bibles and readings. More visible, Jamie lived her faith by serving others, and letting the Lord speak through her.

Jamie is survived by her 3 daughters and 1 son-n-law, Patsy Alston, Romell Francis Underwood, Julie Maxcey; Jim Maxcey; 9 grandchildren: Doug Maxcey, Brad Maxcey, Wade Maxcey; Debra McKinney, Toni Schramme, Tracy Alston, Scott Herring; Stephanie Landrian, and James Douglas Braden.
