Ms. Jaime Joanna Lee Walter

Jaime Joanna Lee Walter, 32, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 5th in Memphis, Tennessee. She was surrounded by her closest family and friends. In a final act of kindness, she shared the ultimate gift of life through organ donation, saving 5 others in need. Jaime was born on May 29, 1991 in Blytheville, Arkansas to John Brockman Walter and Dorothy Yerbey. She was raised by the late Bobbie Walter in cotton fields by the river. A life-long resident of Armorel, she graduated from high school in 2009 with the proud title of “Class Clown.” After graduation she attended college to be a dental assistant. Nurturing her love for children, she also spent many years helping her Aunt Bobbie with her in-home daycare. She was of the Catholic faith and a life-long member of Immaculate Conception Church. Known for her kind and generous heart, Jaime was someone you could always depend on, no matter what. She was extremely loyal to those she loved and cared about. You could always count on her to be there with a listening ear and plenty of unruly advice. Jaime had an iconic sense of humor and never met a stranger. She was well known for telling jokes and pulling pranks, but hated to be the center of attention. Jmee Jo loved spending time with her friends, undisturbed naps, Taco Bell, a cold Coke or Dr. Pepper, Adam Sandler, spontaneous fishing trips(but she was NOT baiting the hook!!), thrift shopping, helping others, cleaning, talking smack—to put it nicely, and making people smile. She either loved you or she didn’t; it was very black and white. Jaime was independent and strong. She could do anything she set her mind on…especially if you told her not to. Jaime is lovingly remembered by her older brother, Joshua Brock Walter; cousin J.T. Walter and his children, Koven, Brayden, and Ensley; cousin Ashley Walter and her son Camden; aunts Lease Carr and Sue David; one cherished god-daughter Khloe Jade Spence and her mother, Anita Spence; and special friends she only knew as family, “The Starnes Girls”- Kelsea(Cody) Johnson, Kaleigh(Charles) Crigger, and Kassidy McKenzie; Ashton Scott; Michael Joe Miller; Jason, Kaye(Jack) Conley, and family; the Julians; and a host of others who miss her dearly. In addition to her parents, Bobbie and John Walter, Jaime was preceded in death by her brother, Jeremy Jack Walter; uncles, Don and Tommy Walter; one cousin, Julian Walter; and three great aunts– Barbara Raspberry, Jane Bombolaski, and Lefa Bombolaski. A private memorial was held on April 20, 2024 to celebrate the life of our beloved girl. We treasured every day of Jaime Joanna Lee’s life. Her legacy will live on through priceless memories and forever in our hearts. Luke 12:2-3(NRSV)— “Nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered and nothing secret that will not become known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed from the housetops.” Tri-City LLC Crematory Funeral Home is honored and privileged to serve the Walter family.
