James Franklin "Jim" Crow, age 91, of Chillicothe, passed away on Wednesday, November 13, 2019 at UnityPoint Health Proctor in Peoria.
Jim was born on July 14, 1928 in Madison County, IA to Oryl Wayne and Flossie Opal (Phillips) Crow. He married Norma Zimmer in Walnut City, IA on October 31, 1959. She survives.
Also surviving are his daughters, Lori (Scott) Montgomery and Lisa (Roger) Perham; grandchildren, Jenn (Doug) Nelson, Danielle (Levi) Holloway, Lauren (Collin) Jordan and Richard Perham; and six great-grandchildren, Aza, Kacer, Nora, Tate, Charlie and Hakes, all of Chillicothe. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Nelson; and his sister, Norma.
Jim served his country in the United States Army during the Korean War. He owned a Sinclair filling station in Winterset, IA. Jim retired from American Sterilizer Company in 1985. He then drove a school bus for five years for Illinois Valley Central school district.
Jim was an active member of the Chillicothe Christian Church, where he served as an elder, treasurer, adult Sunday school teacher, lawn caretaker and all around handyman over the years. He enjoyed playing croquet on his court that was always ready for friends to drop in. Jim kept his acreage like a park setting with roses, fruit trees and a large truck garden. He could fix anything with baling wire and duct tape. Jim's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought him great joy.
Jim had a long and fulfilled life. His family would like to express gratitude to everyone who was part of it. They would like to thank the staff at Evergreen Senior Living in Chillicothe for their love and care in Jim's final years.
