Jimmie Ann Murley (nee McCann) passed away peacefully in her sleep during the early morning hours of Wednesday, September 18, 2024. She had been suffering from Myasthenia Gravis for the past 20 years. She dealt with the challenges of this disease with patience and grace. My brother and I cannot thank Dana (my sister in law, my brother’s wife) enough for all the love and joy she brought our mother. Car rides, Steak n Shake Burgers,Ted Drewes, simply just being there so she didn’t feel alone. She was preceded in death by her husband of 40 years, Russell Gibson Murley, September 30, 1994.
Jimmie Ann McCann was born in Silerton, Tennessee on November 11, 1934, to Stacy and Annie Graple McCann. She moved to St.Louis, Missouri as a young bride in September of 1954, when her husband accepted a job as a sheet metal worker with McDonnell Douglas. She eventually took a job as a keypunch operator at Monsanto.
She and her husband raised two children. Charlotte Jeanne Butler (Dan) and Stacy Thomas Murley (Dana). She was a believer in the power and love of Christ and raised her children to be His hands and feet, doing good wherever they were lead.
She leaves behind five grandchildren (Katie Butler Fawks(Ryan)and Lauren Butler, Erin Murley James( Andrew), Jeffery Murley and Sean Murley) as well as four great grandchildren (Coehen and Cameron Fawks, Eliana and Harrison James)
In her younger years, she took great joy in spending time with her grandchildren creating beautiful memories we still remember fondly.

Our deepest condolences to the family on the loss of your beloved Jimmie.
I was so busy just being her daughter, I didn’t truly appreciate how beautiful she was💞
She was just mom. I guess it was because both she and her sister made being Wonder Women look like a walk in the park. Boy was I wrong 😅Here’s to all the moments when you were tired from working all week and cleaning house and buying groceries and washing my clothes (and buying my clothes) and washing the dishes AND molding and shaping me into the woman you knew I could become. For all the times I never thanked you, disappointed you and the times I made you proud, I will always be grateful for the fact that you were my mother 🫶🏻💞🫶🏻 Godspeed sweet mama, I love you 💕
