Life was filled with church and music for Jimmye. She could play piano by ear and boy could she sing. She won several awards in both during her high school days, And was soloist at her high school graduation ceremony. Jimmye was in the National Honor Society and went on to secretarial school, typing over 80 words per minute on a manual typewriter.
She married young, and soon divorced. She then met a widower with three children, married him and raised his three children, Pam, Linda and Joe Harper.
Her years in Daytona Beach were busy managing a family real estate office and with Junior League and its charities. She was a favorite model in their fundraising fashion shows.Then moved to Atlanta and joined the accounting department of Texaco, which she remained through the division move to Houston, which became her home. Between herself, her brother, Robert, and her sister-in-law, Laura, over 100 years of employment to Texaco was booked.
She found the love of her life, Jim Frost, in Houston and spent wonderful years with him before his death. They will be interred together at Memorial Oaks.
