Jamie Lee Austin passed away Thursday, June 15, 2006, following a long illness. She was 75.
Jamie was born on January 9, 1931, in Berrien County, Georgia, the only child of Price and Nettie Yarbrough Hansford. As a young girl she moved to Jacksonville where she graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in 1947 and began working for Atlantic National Bank. She married Jack Donald Austin of Jacksonville on March 5, 1949. After taking several years off to raise a family, she returned to work at Atlantic Bank and held a variety of positions, eventually becoming the company's first woman branch manager. She retired from the bank in 1981.
Jamie was a long-time member of Arlington United Methodist Church where she taught Sunday school and worked in the church office after her retirement. She enjoyed reading, travel, and spending time with her grandchildren. She will be lovingly remembered for her unselfish devotion to her family and friends, as well as her skill on the dance floor and her wonderful smile.
Jamie is survived by her husband of 57 years, Jack Austin; her three children, Janice Boyd (Tom), Carol David (Bill), and Robert Austin (Julia), all of Jacksonville; her five grandchildren, Elizabeth and Jennifer Boyd and Bridget, Jack, and Matthew David; and her mother, Nettie Scifres.
