Jayne Lea Nixon Spiers

1932 ~ 2014

Prescott, AZ

Mrs. Jayne Lea Nixon Spiers, age 82, of Prescott, AZ, passed away on Wednesday, July 23, 2014, of natural causes.

She was living in Arizona close to her oldest daughter, Janice Spiers Goff, at the time of her death.

Jayne was a longtime resident of Ocean Springs and a seamstress at the ER Moore Company in the 1950's. She was a member, pianist and organist at Emmanuel Baptist Church and later became a member and organist at the First Baptist Church. Her daddy, Frank Nixon, and his brother, Bert El Spiers, built the families shrimp boat in her mom's yard at their home on Brumbaugh Road in Ocean Springs. It was so huge sitting there out of the water that the neighbors joked with mom, dad and Uncle Bert that "they must know something everyone else did not know." It looked like they were building an ark. All the shrimpers docked their boats at the Ocean Springs Harbor and our boat name was Captain Ray.
