In Memory

Jimmie Evans

We lost another dear classmate on the 16th of September. My understanding is that Jimmie had a stroke a few years ago. The was getting worse and Hospice was called in. On September 15, 2021 her husband, Mike Knighton, passed away as he was recovering from Covid. Our sympathy goes out to the family and friends as their children face the loss of both their mother and father inside a days time.
