Jimmy Carroll Cornett

He was born in Luverne, AL to Shelby Jean Cornett and the late Jimmy Ike Cornett. He retired from the civil service in Fort Benning, Georgia after working many years as a high voltage electrician.

Jimmy was a strong, simple man with a heart to always love and protect his loved ones. Jimmy loved God, family, friends, horses, and of course, the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Jimmy is survived by his wife, Babbie Cornett; children: Shondra (Ward) Odom, Shea (Gene) Lisle, Brock (Crystal) Cornett, Barbie (Jon) Ballard, and Jessie Wilson; grandchildren: Breanna and Brinley Odom, Konner and Kenzie Cornett, Lilli, Grady, and Henley Lisle, and Jaxson and Mason Ballard; mother Shelby Jean Cornett; brothers: Scott (Kim) Cornett and Randall (Melissa) Cornett; and many other beloved family and friends.

A memorial service will be held at Striffler-Hamby in Phenix City, AL on Thursday, December 30, 2021 at 5 pm to celebrate Jimmy’s life.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Dream Acres Equine/Horse Sanctuary in Mobile, AL at https://greatnonprofits.org/org/dream-acres-equine-sanctuary in honor of Jimmy's name.
