August 1. 1950 - July 11, 2024
In the early morning hours of
July 11th, Jim A. Ledbetter, Sr.
passed away ending his battle
with COPD. He was born August
1st, 1950, to James L. Ledbetter
and Phyllis (White) Ledbetter in
Clarkston, WA. Jim’s twin brother,
Jay, passed away soon after birth.
He had older twin sisters, Sharla
and Darla.
While he did not have an ideal
childhood, he did have fond
memories of flying model
airplanes with his dad, and his dad taking him flying in his plane and
the breakfasts afterward. In his high school years, he had stories that
would curl your hair and wonder how he and Stan never got caught.
Jim started working in the grocery business soon after high school.
He worked with his dad in Great Falls, MT, for a while. Then went on to
Rosauers briefly then started his 30+ years at Safeway. He retired in
2016.
Jim loved to cook. Thanksgiving meals were the best. And if not
cooking, then it was the barbecue. Give him a thick juicy ribeye with
sauteed mushrooms and he was in heaven. Add lobster to that and it
couldn't get any better.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Jay; and
sisters, Sharla and Darla. He is survived by his wife, Ginger (Virginia);
son, Jim Jr. (Michelle) of Spokane; daughter, Kate Razey of Kennewick;
stepdaughter, Nicole Heath (Steven Shackleford) of Aurora, IL; stepson,
Christopher Heath of Spokane; four grandchildren; four step grandchildren;
and three great-granddaughters.
My dear, sweet, Jim, you are and always will be missed.
A Celebration of Life will be held on August 17th, at Jack & Dan's,
1226 N Hamilton St, from 3-5 PM. Please come and join in celebrating
Jim.
