James "Jim” Willis Terrell Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

James “Jim” Willis Terrell, age 80, passed away comfortably and peacefully on Saturday, July 18, 2020 at IU Hospice in Bloomington, Indiana. He was born on April 25, 1940 in Ellettsville, Indiana. He married his wife, Mary Terrell (Simison), on January 14, 1960. Together they built their home in the backcountry of Spencer, Indiana where they enjoyed many peaceful years together and raised their three children: Anna Antilla, Scott Terrell, and Tina Tucker. Jim maintained a long and loyal career as a mechanic to provide for his family. He was known by all for his clever wit, his ceaseless work ethic and integrity, and his quiet love for nature. He loved to work with his hands- whether that entailed carpentry or custom vehicles. He loved to tell stories with captivating details and a hearty laugh. Jim found many ways to enjoy life, but the things he loved most were spending time with his family and traveling out west with his wife. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, his sisters Shirley and Joyce, his three children, his granddaughter Emily Meyers, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Take a moment today to remember him well, and celebrate the man that he was. Allen Funeral Home and Crematory, 4155 S. Old State Road 37, Bloomington have been entrusted with arrangements.
