James “Jim” I.
Dunwoody
James “Jim” I. Dunwoody, 88, of Ansonia, Ohio, passed away peacefully
surrounded by his family on Sunday, September 20, 2020, at the State of
the Heart Care Center in Greenville, Ohio.
He was born on December 7, 1931, in North Star, Ohio, to the late
Benjamin and Mary (Nisonger) Dunwoody.
In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his great
grandson, Will; and his siblings, Evelyn (Duane) Meyer and Ruth (Carl)
Dowdy.
Jim enjoyed being outdoors. From hunting to fishing, he enjoyed all the
beauty that nature had to offer. He was a carpenter and loved to build
things, especially for his family. During many trips to visit with
family, Jim would end up either fixing something for them or building
them something. Aside from being a self-employed carpenter, Jim also
spent many years as a farmer. When he was not building bird houses or
helping others, Jim could be found inside enjoying a Louis L’amour
book. Jim was a proud veteran and honorably served in the United State
Army during the Korean War. He was a charter member of the Ansonia Area
Rescue and was a member of the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in
Greenville.
Jim is survived by his wife, Janet (Kuhn) Dunwoody, whom he married on
December 7, 1985; his children, Diann (Larry Irvin) Dunwoody, Linda
(Bob) Cornett, Gayle (Jim) Rismiller, Eric (Darlene) Smith, Adam
(Candace) Smith, and Shelley (Brad) Knick; his grandchildren, Darren

(J.P.), Jackson, Grayson, Alex, Katrina, Krystal, and Destiny; his
great grandchildren, Riley, Sam, Tate, Eli, Emily, Blake, Ian, Molly,
Lily, Cooper, Hallie, and Matthew; his siblings, Ina (Bob) Meeds,
Janice Anderson, and Joyce Dunwoody; and numerous nieces and nephews.
