JACKSON (HATFIELD), Betty Lee "Mimi"
Betty Lee Hatfield Jackson, lovingly known to most as Mimi, was born on August 15, 1929 in Williamson, WV, to the late Anthony Wayne Hatfield and Lassye Deskins Hatfield. At age 91, Mimi died peacefully the morning of November 13, 2020, surrounded by the love of her four daughters.
Mimi married in 1955 and moved to Florida on her honeymoon. She and her husband settled in Bradenton, FL where she was active in her church, the Junior Women's Club, and enjoyed her four daughters, their friends, and activities.
In 1988, Mimi moved to Atlanta to live with her oldest daughter, Vicki. She spent 23 happy years in their home and was so special to Vicki's children. For the last eight years, Mimi was a proud resident of Clairmont Place where she enjoyed making many new friends and taking part in countless special events, especially the Halloween parties. Mimi's smile lit up the room.
Mimi was predeceased by her parents, her brother, Anthony Wayne Hatfield, Jr., and her sister, Mary Anne Jackson. She is survived by her daughters, Vicki Jackson Riedel (Joe), Julianne Jackson, Joni Jackson Perkins (Jack), and Lesli Kim Jackson Trameri (Kevin). Mimi is also survived by 12 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. The family will have a private celebration of life at a later date.
