MACCLENNY, Fla. — A country music superstar's mother made a difference for several families this holiday season.

Tim McGraw's mother, Betty Trimble, made sure some deserving families have a merry Christmas.

Trimble paid off several customers' layaway orders Tuesday at the Walmart in Macclenny.

Shopper Deborah Jackson said Trimble told people she was playing Secret Santa and was excited to pay the layaway balances.

Another shopper, Jessica Lumpkin, said she didn't even have anything on layaway -- but Trimble handed her a card with $30 in it and told her to buy something for her daughter.

Trimble has ties to Northeast Florida. She went to Terry Parker High School in Jacksonville and her mother lived in Glen St. Mary.
