Jinny and Jesse were blessed with 3 children: Jesse III, James, and William (“Will”); 9 grandchildren; and 1 one great-grandchild. Jinny and Jesse both grew up in Scotland Neck and returned home in 1982. It is the wish of the family that in lieu of flowers gifts be made directly to Scotland Neck Rising, P. O. Box 160, Scotland Neck, NC 27874 or online by visiting tmcfunding.com/search then type Jinny Shearin. Because the children and grandchildren live and work in various locations around the country, the family has chosen to delay any kind of memorial service. The date and location will be announced in due course. Letchworth-Sykes Funeral Service in Scotland Neck is handling the arrangements for the Shearin family and online condolences can be directed to the family by visiting letchworthsykesfs.com.
