Jim was preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Letha Davidson Mallory, who went to be with the Lord September 6, 2004.  She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.  Until 1991, they traveled with the natural gas pipeline, and in their spare time, they loved to hunt, fish, and garden.  They were very active in their church and enjoyed hosting family reunions.  They loved their pets, and Jim is missed by 13 cats and a dog who survive him.  He was a devoted husband, father, and provider.

Survivors include one daughter, Rhonda Gayle Mallory; a granddaughter, Natasha Culpepper Cole; a grandson, James Olin Culpepper, a great-grandson, Richard Olin Culpepper.
