James A. (Jim) Sellers

Mr. James A. (Jim) Sellers, 75, of Blytheville, went to be with the Lord early Thursday, July 18, 2013, at his home. He was born Oct. 25, 1937, in Conway to Jesse Theodore Sellers and Addie Florence Dunn Sellers. He moved to Blytheville in 1965 and retired several years ago from NER Data products as plant manager.

He was a veteran in the U.S. Air Force and also served with the National Guard. He was of the Baptist faith.

Jim had many hobbies, including golf, Razorback football, deer hunting (when he was younger) and aviation. His boyhood desire was to be a pilot, but after bailing out of a plane and being injured, he was not able to fly anymore. However, he never lost his interest in airplanes.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Arvil Sellers; and a sister, Audrey Thessinger.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Pat Cole Sellers;

Two daughters, Jamie (and Bobby) Holley of Greenbrier and
