generous heart, helping her to create and maintain lifelong friendships.
Romie’s faith was a fundamental part of her life, with her Sundays dedicated to church and gospel music at Christ Community Center Church. Romie also found joy in the thrill of the casino and the simple pleasure of an ice-cold Dr. Pepper. Romie’s most fervent prayers were always for the safety and well-being of her family.
On October 1, 2023, Romie Jean James passed away peacefully.
Preceding her in death were her children, Salanda and Kent James, and her sister, Jean.
Survived by her is her son Melvin James, her brothers; Chester and Harry, and her numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
Romie’s indomitable spirit, her generosity, and her unwavering love for her family and friends will be sorely missed. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all those she touched with her kindness and warmth.
