In 1989, he began working at Brandon Police Department and graduated from Jackson Police Department Officer's Training Academy in 1990. Once completing the police academy, he soon returned to the city where his heart always belonged and in 1990 began working as a police officer at Pearl Police Department. In 1993, he left the city for a short amount of time and worked at Gulfport Police Department where he made many lifelong friendships. He returned to Pearl Police Department in 1995 and continued his passion for working with the youth as Lieutenant of the Juvenile Division. Once he left the duties of working as a sworn police officer in 2015, he continued his journey with Mississippi Department of Education and then ended his career in 2023 working for Madison County Schools as District Safety Coordinator. Due to his love for the City of Pearl, he ran for and was elected as City of Pearl Alderman for District 5 from 2017 until 2023, when he made the difficult decision to step down as Alderman due to his battle with cancer and then began his long overdue retirement. James dedicated his life to helping others. His accomplishments are too many to list, but many people can attest to the impact he had on their lives. It was not uncommon for someone to stop him while out in public thanking him for the influence and impact he had on their child. He took great pride in working with the youth and he truly loved his career. He served as Alderman for almost 2 full terms and he worked tirelessly for District 5 making a huge impact in a short amount of time. He made many friends along the path of his career and would never hesitate to help anyone he could along the way. James was the true definition of a person with a servant's heart and his absence will be felt by many. He loved his family deeply and his passing will be a great loss to all of them. James was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, J. E. (Jack) and Rachel Stuart and his mother, Jackie J. Bush.

Ivy Watson

Age - 95

October 22, 2023

In Loving Memory of Ivy "Sim" Watson June 25, 1928 - October 14, 2023 It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we remember and celebrate the life of Sim Watson, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, who passed away peacefully at his home on October 14, 2023. Sim was a man of great character and integrity, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know and love him. Sim was born in Marion, MS on June 25, 1928, to James Tolbert Watson (1902-1968) and Emma Luvenia "Vennie" Holder Watson (1907-2003). He was raised in a loving family that instilled in him the values of honor, loyalty, faith, and the importance of close family bonds. Sim was preceded in death on November 25, 2020 by his loving and cherished wife and partner in life, Linda "Sharon" Jackson Watson, whom he loved with all of his heart. Married in 1973, Sim and Sharon built a loving home, family, and legacy that will live on in the hearts and lives of all of those who were blessed to know them. Family and friends were the cornerstone of Sim's life, and he cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. He had a special place in his heart for his only child, Matthew "Scott" Watson, whom he loved dearly and who took care of him around the clock throughout his final months and days. He was also a loving father and grandfather-in-law to Connie Jenkins Watson and Joshua Jenkins, sharing precious moments and memories with all of his immediate family. In addition to his son Scott, Sim is survived by his beloved sister, Charity Watson Marlowe, and leaves behind a legacy of love and support to numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and all of his family and friends who will forever hold his memory close. He was also preceded in death by his sisters, Julia Watson Nutt, and Peggy Frances Watson Wilkerson, who held a very special place in his heart and whose memory lived on in him all of his life and was a testament to the deep love he felt for her. Sim Watson proudly served his country as a WWII and Korean War Veteran, displaying unwavering dedication and honor. His service earned him numerous medals and awards, including the WWII Victory Medal, the Korean Service Medal with 2 Bronze Stars, the United Nations Service Medal, and the Good Conduct Medal. He stood as a symbol of honor and sacrifice for all generations to come. After his military service, Sim worked diligently, first at IBM and then at Genesco, where his passion for work and family were evident by his achievement of the highest sales volume for the entire company, a testament to his dedication and amazing work ethic. Sim found wonderful joy and camaraderie all of life on the golf course. Playing golf with family and friends was one of his greatest pleasures, especially playing alongside his best friend of over 40 years, John Wright, whom he lost in 2016. These moments of shared laughter and competition enriched his life and the lives of those fortunate enough to tee off with him. One of his favorite memories was shared with his son who made a hole in one on the same course, the same hole where he had made a hole in one almost one year earlier to the day. Sim's presence in our lives was a gift that will be cherished and remembered for generations to come. His strength, kindness, and love for his family and friends will remain an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him. Sim's legacy is one of honor, service, and above all, love. As we bid our final farewell, let us remember Sim for the remarkable man he was, and may his memory live on in the hearts of all those who loved him.Show more
