In years to follow, this later influenced his devotion to Webster County as a long-term law enforcement official. Over the span of 42 years, Jimme was commonly known for his work with Providence Police Department, Webster County Sheriff's Department and Webster County Courthouse. As an outcome of his works, he remains well known and affectionately respected within his community.
Outside of work, Jimmie could be found enjoying sports entertainment, bowling, golfing, hunting, and spending time with family and friends. As an active member and servant of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, he often expressed love of his pastor and church family. Jimmie was a loving father, grandfather, sibling, uncle, and friend to many. Several attest to his diligent conscientiousness, spirit of kindness and the love he had for life.
In addition to his parents, Charlie Woolfork and Odie Inez Blackburn-Woolfork, Jimmie was preceded in death by; one brother, John Royster; and three sisters, JoAnn Brooks, Margarete Jean Pillow, and Betty Jane Davis.
