Jimmie was born on December 9, 1927, to Anson and Macie (Eckert) Garrett in the Locker community. She attended and graduated from Richland Springs High School. After high school, she joined the Army Corps of Nursing in San Angelo. During her time in the Corps the nursing program moved over to San Angelo State College.

She eventually retired from Brady Hospital in Brady, Texas.

Jimmie was an avid and talented quilter, a skill she learned from her grandmother. She often gifted her quilts to family and friends. Gardening was also a passion which was evidenced by her beautiful yard and flower beds.
