She was born in Brownsville, Tennessee in 1947, to James Doyle and Mary Nell (Wright). She moved with her family to Peoria, Arizona on July 4, 1950 and attended Peoria School District from Kindergarten through 12th grade. On October 20, 1964, she married Steve Wiedoff in Surprise, Arizona. Jimmie Sue worked for Digital Corporation and later worked for the Arizona Department of Economic Security, until taking a medical retirement. She moved to Canon City, Colorado in 1997.
Jimmie Sue loved to hike and visit the mountain peaks in Colorado. She loved decorating, crafts, country music and Cripple Creek. But mostly, she loved children. She was a foster parent in Fremont County for several years and “nanny” to some other very special children. In her last days and hours, she kept seeing “the children”. They were very dear to her heart up to her last moments.
