Amory - Jimmy Lynn Davidson, 70, passed away Friday, June 22, surrounded by his loved ones at home. Born on March 14, 1948 in Thorn, Mississippi, he was a son of John “Jack” Thomas and Rosa Lee Nolan Davidson.
Jimmy graduated from Houlka High School with the Class of 1966. Shortly after, he departed to serve in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1969.
