*Obituary
Jimmie,94, of Clarksville, passed away March 12, 2008, in Southern California. Born to W.J. Worley and Alice Olivia Manning Worley on January 8, 1914 in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, she was one of six daughters.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 37 years, George E. Mefford; 2 children: Frankie M. Loop and George E. Mefford; 4 grandchildren: Larry A. Loop Sr., Heather Baumann, Perry Clarke, and Jeffery H.M. Long; 3 great-grand children: Ryan M. Walton, Kimberly Long and Spencer Long.
She is survived by 6 children; Mary Jo Coakley, Commerce, Tx; Olson D. Mefford (Patty) Red Bluff, Ca; Faith A. Mefford, San Acacio, Co.; Paul R. Mefford (Carol) San Diego, Ca.; Cari Sue Baumann (Alan) Fayetteville, Ar.
Numerous family and friends in the Johnson County area will miss her, including grandson Kelly R. Loop (Sonya) and family of Russellville, the Don Mefford family of Knoxville, and Sister Sally Ladd of Lamar.
Mrs. Mefford lived in Johnson County for 44 years until shortly before her passing. A devout Christian, she enjoyed gardening and crafts. For a period of time she managed and operated Mefford Ceramics from her home. Her yearly joy came with her entries into the Johnson County Regional Fair, which awarded her countless number of ribbons.
Mrs. Mefford is also survived by 21 grandchildren, 54 great-grand children and 23 great-great grandchildren.
