Heaven gained another angel when Jessie Myers passed away peacefully at her home Friday evening, October 23, at the age of 89. Jessie was born in Hattiesburg, MS, to Joseph Claude and Dorothy Mae Cagle Watson and was the older sister of Harold Ray Watson. She graduated from Forrest County Agricultural High School in 1949 where she was voted "Most Beautiful" her senior year. She went on to receive her nursing license from Methodist Hospital in Hattiesburg. She was married to Dr. Robert L. Thompson, Sr., with whom she had her three children, Robert (Bob) L., Jr., Jan Marie Clark, and Michael Thompson (Miki). In January 1980, Jessie married Dr. Robert (Bob) Beall, whom she considered to be her true love. They remained happily married until his death in September 2001. She later found friendship and love with Malcolm (Mac) Myers. They married in February 2005 and were together until his passing in April 2013. Jessie was a wonderful and devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She showered her family with much love and attention as often as possible.
