Mamie Sims Watson

Mamie Sims Watson, 84, of Corinth, MS, passed away on Thursday, April 14, 2016, at Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth, MS. She was born in McNairy County, Tennessee on September 16, 1931 to the late Homer Edward and Lula Mae Jones Sims. Mamie was a member of Strickland Church of Christ. In her early years she was employed with Garan Inc. here in Corinth before moving to Ventura, CA where she worked as an aeronautics technician. She traveled often, visiting places from New York to Canada to Alaska. Her travels fueled her creative spirit and she incorporated the ideas she encountered into her pursuits. Mamie enjoyed crocheting blankets and cooking for friends and family. She had a gift for creating something out of nothing - she once made a coffee table from a piece of driftwood. Mamie loved to square dance. It was with this energy and passion she lived her life, and with energy and passion we will remember her. A memorial gathering of family and friends will be held on Monday, April 18, 2016 from 11 AM till service time at 1 PM at Magnolia Funeral Home Chapel of Memories, officiated by Lawrence Barr.
