James Ray Blankenship, born on January
11, 1936 in Reyno, AR, passed away peacefully on June 15, 2020, at his home in
Sugar Grove, IL, at the age of 84.
James, fondly known to many as Jim, lived
his life in the service of others. He served his country as a Firefighter for
the Strategic Air Command of the United States Air Force and Air Force Reserves
from 1957 to 1969. He continued to serve his community as a tool and die maker
at the Darling Store Fixtures in Corning, Ark., and by spending his weekends
helping his wife Florene at her grocery store and restaurant.
Jim and Florene met at a dance, one of
their favorite pastimes, and married on May 20, 1978. Together they built a
beautiful life in their Pollard, Ark., home where he loved to build and work
with his hands, paint, fish and help in the garden. After Florene’s death in
2011, Jim moved to Sugar Grove, where he spent his last years surrounded by
family, love and lots of great grandbabies.
Many will remember Jim best for the food
and laughter shared at his dining room table (especially chocolate gravy in the
morning), the infectious way he laughed, his affinity for John Wayne movies and
the joy he found in every day.
Jim is survived by his children, David (Kellie)
Blankenship of Sugar Grove, Ill., Debbie Sizemore of Florence, Ky. and Connie (Jeff) Palmer of
Lincoln, Neb.; sisters Dorothy O’Neal of Rockford, Ill. and Genevieve Holland of
Belleville, Ill.; grandchildren Brittany (Adam) Ruff of Michigan, Amber (Ryan)

Sizemore of Kentucky, Courtney Palmer of Texas, Alexis Palmer of Nebraska,
LaTonya (Steve) Schreck, and Carol Cantu of Arkansas; and 20
great-grandchildren.
Jim was preceded in death by his wife,
Florene
Blankenship; his parents, Benjamin R Blankenship, and Susan M. (Justice)
Blankenship; brothers, Benny Blankenship, John Blankenship, Vernon Blankenship
and Bud Blankenship; sisters,

stepson Ronnie Gunnels.
A memorial service will be held at 11 am,
