Jimmie was the third child born on March 22, 1930 to the late James F. Trammell and Mamie Adams Trammell. She was a graduate of Clayton High School, class of 1948. After graduation, she moved to Atlanta, GA to attend business school. Following business school, she married her high school sweetheart, Claude S. Talley. She was employed by John Hancock Life Insurance Co. and retired in 1987.
A few years later, she relocated to her hometown of Eufaula, AL. She was a long time member of the First Baptist Church of Eufaula.

She enjoyed singing in the senior choir, gardening, reading and spending time with her family and friends. In 2015, she sold her home and moved to Grayson, GA to live with her daughter. Jimmie was a devoted mother and grandmother, and was a great influence to all who knew her. She had a kind, loving heart and always saw the good in everyone she met, and was a caretaker for many by nature. She loved the Lord with all her heart.
