Jessie Mae Varner
Jessie Mae Varner was bom in
Roston, Arkansas on March 2,1919, to
Lewis and Mary J. Moss. She was the
fifth of eight children. Jessie attended
Oakgrove High School and enjoyed
playing basketball in those early years.
She furthered her education at Pine
Bluff College in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
In 1943 she moved to Portland,
Oregon, becoming one of the few black
women welders. In 1947 she married
James P. Varner and to this union two
children were bom.
Jessie worked in the medical field
Jesus Loves You!
at Saint Vincent Hospital for thirteen
years. In 1965 she became Director of
C-CAP (Church Community Action
Program). She was also a member of
the Order of the Eastern Stars P.H.A.,
and the United Methodist Women.
From 1968 to 1983 Jessie worked
as a community agent for the Portland
Public Schools. In this role she in­
spired many would-be dropouts to
continue their formal education.
In 1983 she retired only to find
herself a volunteer for Loaves and
Fishes; later she became Assistant Man­
ager.
Jessie, a Christian, was a member
of Hughes Memorial United Method­
ist Church. Throughout her life she
touched the lives of many, both young
and old. The experience with Jessie
was always positive and inspiring.
Her well spent life came to an end
on August 10,1991. She leaves loving
memories with her husband of forty-
four years, James P. Varner; four broth­
ers, Willie Moss of Dallas, Texas,
Dexter Moss of Philadelphia, Penn­
sylvania, Delma Moss of Little Rock,
Arkansas, and Chester Moss of Oakland,
California; two children, Charles C.
Moss and Brenda Y. Hill of Portland,
Oregon; two grandchildren, Damany
A. Williams and Kiara C. Hill; and a
