Memorial
James E. Mills, 70, passed away peacefully at his home in Kentucky on Wednesday, November 11, 2015, after a battle with gastric cancer.
Services will be held at a later date.
Jim was born on July 27, 1945 to Ellsworth and Marie (Gardner) Mills in Chicago, Illinois, moving to Lexington, Kentucky at an early age where he later obtained a Master’s Degree in psychology. He worked as a school psychologist for Grant Wood A.E.A in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for many years until his retirement, when he and his wife returned to Lexington to be with family. He married Dianne Alley on May 6, 1969 in Lexington, Kentucky.
Jim is survived by his beloved wife of 47 years, Dianne Alley Mills, sister-in-law Rebecca (Ramon) Juanso, sister-in-law Carol Neal, and many nieces and nephews, including his Shih Tzu Madeline, who he often referred to as his “daughter”.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, and his son James E. Mills Jr.
Jim loved the Lord with all his heart and his greatest desire was to lead others to God. We are comforted that he is now at rest with his Savior. Jim’s family would like to thank Hospice of the Blue Grass for their wonderful care during his illness, especially Meghan, his nurse.
Donations can be made to Hospice of the Blue Grass or Church of the Savior, Nicholasville, Kentucky.
