Jessie loved to cook her big family dinners and have everyone over. She was a wonderful mother that loved her children and grandchildren. She lived the last 35 years of her life in Virginia, but her heart always longed for the mountains. She would always say “You can take the girl out of the mountains, but you can’t take the mountains out of the girl.” Momma, you are back home now, rest in peace.

Those left behind who love and will miss her are her children, John Muncey, Susan Stokley, Karen Lynch, Angelia Breeland, Terry Walls and Charles Burns. She will be watching over her 15 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
