Jimmie Sue Rice

Jimmie Sue Rice, 83, a native of Greenville, AL and a resident of Belforest, AL, passed away Tuesday, October 6, 2020. Sue was a loving Christian wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a homemaker, a skillful seamstress and had a great passion for quilting. When it came to living near the water, she rarely passed the opportunity to go fishing, soft shelling or just a boat ride. Her stovetop was always filled with southern fried okra and the Thanksgiving table was not complete without her cornbread dressing. She had a unique gift for dreaming of fish; which meant someone in the family would be blessing her with another grandbaby. To the very end, she shared a personal message about living a good life with each of her immediate family members. Surviving are her four sons, Charles Anthony Rice (Jackie), Joseph Barry Rice (Fran), John Daniel Rice, Scott Armstrong Rice (Leigh); one daughter, Marcia Rice Stabler (Stan); ten grandchildren; Jeremy Rice, Hillirie Lindquist, Ashley Lieb, Lee Day, Zachary Rice, Lindsay Hawley, Shannon Bane, Joey Stabler, Jacob Rice and Emilie Rice and twenty-four great-grandchildren; one brother, Rayford Armstrong; three sisters, Annie Merle Allison; Frances Waldrup; Pearl Jansen; nieces, nephews, many other relatives and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, Hillary Armstrong and Margie Armstrong Quinley; brother Leon Armstrong. The family will receive friends at Wolfe-Bayview Funeral Home, Fairhope, Thursday, October 8, 2020, from 12:00pm until 2:00pm. Funeral services will be held from the chapel of Wolfe-Bayview Funeral, Fairhope, Thursday, October 8, 2020 at 2:00pm. Brother Grant Barber will officiate the celebration of life. Interment will follow in Memory Gardens of Fairhope. In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Spanish Trail Baptist Church, PO Box 1555, Daphne, AL. 36526
