Jolee was born in Paducah on May 3, 2017 to Joshua and Jamie Timmons. “Though I am little, I am fierce” perfectly describes Little Miss Jolee. She impacted the lives of so many throughout the community with her contagious and precious smile that lit up a room. Jolee had a magnetic personality that drew you to instantly love her. Whether it was riding on the tractor with her daddy, playing with farm animals or camping, she loved being outside. Often called “Bird” by her parents, she was her mother’s sunshine and bestie. Jolee enjoyed watching her sister play sports and was always her biggest fan. She loved music, snuggles and watching Peppa Pig or Bluey. Jolee had an obsession for squishies and her favorite color was pink. She loved to eat potato chips and spaghetti with meatballs. Jolee was a kindergarten student at Jonathan Elementary School and attended Zion’s Cause Baptist Church.
