Obituary
Jessie Bell Quimbley, affectionately known as "Mother and/or Mother Jessie" was born February 15, 1921 to the late Charlie Gilbert and Willie Lou Benyard in the Greenough Community of Baconton, Georgia. Mother had one brother, Odilan Barrett Gilbert who preceded her in death. She also had two foster sisters, Callie and the late Evelyn Gilbert.
In November, 1940, Mother was united in holy matrimony to Sylvester "Pink" Quimbley, who preceded her in death. To this union included Vera (Jimmy) Gilbert, Sylvester (Eloise), W. Pearl, Amanda (Alonzo), the late Otis Larry (Virginia), Frederick (Keva), the late Charlie James (Alice), Craig (Darletta) and L. C. Riggins of Macon, Georgia.
Mother was very interested in completing high school, but the school she attended in the rural community of Greenough of Baconton, Georgia, did not extend beyond seventh grade. Therefore, instead of boarding in the town of Camilla, Georgia to complete high school, she was not afforded the opportunity to make the transition to high school, not because of her capabilities, instead of her eagerness to attend, she repeated the seventh grade. She watched her mother make dresses for ladies in the community and later years, worked with her daughter Vera at Vera's Boutique in Camilla, Georgia. She also worked at RCM Enterprises, Inc. Shirt Factory in the Flint Community of Baconton, Georgia for several years.
Mother confessed Christ as her Lord and Savior. She attended the St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church, Baconton, Georgia; Open Door Church of Praise, Inc., Camilla, Georgia; and Ebenezer Christian Center, Albany, Georgia.
Mother Jessie loved children and always wanted to be the mother for those who needed a motherly touch. She was a very good advisor. She always had an advice to give others. She leaves to cherish her memories all her children; several grandchildren; great grandchildren; great-great grandchildren; nieces; nephews; other relatives and friends.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteh among the elders of the land.
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31:10-31
