Guestbook

  1. I’m so sorry for your loss. My mother, Susan Trammel, always enjoyed catching up on the phone calls with Jimmie Dean. I’m sure they are having those great conversations again now that they’re together in heaven.

  2. I am so saddened to this. I have always received a Christmas card from Jimmie Dean every year since I moved back to Tennessee in 2001. I worked with Jimmie at The Mole Hole at Biltmore Square Mall. We always had such a great time together and I enjoyed our talks. She was a great woman and I will miss her.
