Grissom couple marks 50th year
A native Warren countian, Grissom married the former Bobbye Jacobs of Coffee County on Aug. 8, 1953 in Rossville, Ga. They are the parents of three sons, Tommy, Joe and the late John Grissom and have a granddaughter and grandson.
For the occasion, Mrs. Grissom was attired in navy and white and was presented a long-stemmed red rose.
Their table, draped in white, was aglow with candles in crystal holders complimented with gold place settings and gold linen napkins. Four different desserts graced a pedestal placed in the center of the board.
After they married, the couple lived for a year in Detroit, Mich., where he was employed in an automobile factory. He also worked for Paul Gant Oil Company and retired in July of 1992 from employment at Carrier Corporation.
Now, both enjoys fishing in Harvest Farms Lake, just across the road from their residence. He also does a little piddling and she sews counted cross stitch designs.
