James Cecil Crume

From Kennewick, WA | Born in Lubbock, TX

James Cecil Crume died peacefully on March 16, 2022 at the age of 93. In his last hours, he was surrounded by his family, including his beloved wife and three generations of children.

Jim is survived by his wife of 69 years, Shirley Crume; his sons and daughters Michael, Kate, Jay, Lora, Bryan, Justin, and their spouses; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; his sister Lora Nell Dickinson and brother William David Crume. He was preceded in death by his father Avery Cecil Crume, mother Coy (Cowan) Crume, and his brother Jepp Crume.

Jim, known as “Cecil” in his home town, graduated Ft. Worth Technical High School in 1947. He married Shirley Rae Drury of Richland, Washington on May 17, 1952. Jim worked for several companies on the Hanford site until he retired in 1989.

Not long after Jim and Shirley started a family, they began to learn precious truths from the Bible that beautifully transformed their lives. Jim got to know his Creator and was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on April 7, 1962. This dedication moved him to pursue a life full of love, faith, and integrity that proved to be a blessing for his family, friends, and anyone associated with him.

The family would like to thank you for your prayers and kindness during this time. Your shared memories, comfort, condolences, and gestures of love are truly appreciated. We are all especially grateful for the “God of all comfort” who lovingly provided us with a beautiful hope for the future, when all the things that we have tearfully lost can be joyfully restored. (2 Cor. 1:3; Hos. 13:14; Rev. 21:3-5).

You are invited to join us to fondly remember Jim, to enjoy the blessings we have in common, and to be comforted by God’s reassuring promises for the future. The event will be held in-person, but you may watch the service online at the link below if you are not able to be present.
