Jimmy


 Jimmy Boykin Stokes

August 13,1941

August 12,  2022


Jimmy was one of Meme Clara’s favorite relatives, my fathers half brother 18 years younger. Jimmy and his brothers William and Billy, his sister Mary, would spend summers with us in Sopchoppy when they were teens. 

Being so much younger, they were as Memes own children. 

Jimmy fell from a ladder in June of 2022 pruning a pear tree at his home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and never recovered. Only his sister Mary remains, in an advanced state of dementia.
