Jessie was happiest when she had her family with her. Especially enjoying all the picnics the Rhoads family had. There were lots of nieces and nephews all running around, laughing and of course eating. The Hardin side was smaller. She was fortunate to have Roger Campbell and Danny & Delores Campbell Davis close by. She spent lots of fun times with their families. She was always happy to see all her kids. She was Aunt Jessie and Grandma Jessie to so many that were not even related and she loved them all.
