Jimmie is survived by her loving husband of 44 years, O.B. Jackson, Jr.; three daughters: Melissa (Randy) Hornsby of Elcomb, Amanda (Andy) Short of Elcomb, and Loren (George) Durham of Baxter; six grandchildren: Zachary Hornsby and fiancée  Nicole of Knoxville, TN, Caitlyn Hornsby and fiancée Johnathan of Graham, NC, Lacey and Grayson Short of Elcomb, Lillian Durham and fiancée Scott of Goose Creek, SC, and Jacob Durham of Baxter; very special niece and nephew: Stephanie and Jack Miniard of Harlan, and Chuck and Shauntae Abbott of Kingsport, TN; two sisters: Donna (Britt) Lewis and Jeanene (Charlie) Abbott, all of Harlan; as well as a host of special family and friends.
