Javada "Jadie" Ann Rimmer passed away on a gorgeous Northwest afternoon on May 1, 2011, with her family at her side.

Jadie was born Aug. 31, 1946, to

Thelma and Emmett Hicks, in Little Rock, Ark., where she spent many of her formative years before moving to San Francisco's Bay Area. There, she became a flight attendant for Flying Tiger Line and later married.

She had her first son before moving to Bellevue. There, she gave birth to her second son and saw both children grow into adults.

In addition to being a loving and creative homemaker, she donated much of her time to charities and local organizations. Jadie served as an avid member and officer with the Overtake Service League in addition to volunteering at Overlake Hospital and Bellevue High School.

In retirement, Jadie spent much of her time traveling, fishing and camping with her partner, and enjoyed hosting family get-togethers over the holidays.

Jadie is survived by her two sons, Brian and Aaron; their spouses; three grandchildren; her partner, Lee Thompson; his daughters and grandchildren; and her sister Barbara.

A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 14, at Flintoft's Issaquah Funeral Home.

Jadie asked that any remembrances be made to the Overlake Service League, Elks National Foundation in Issaquah or Seattle Children's of Seattle.

Friends are invited to share memories and sign the family's online guest book at www.flintofts. com.
