Born December 22, 1944, in Whitesville, WV to Hubert “Happy” Arehart and Betty Edmonds, Jimmy was a lifelong area resident, who retired from Kroger warehouse after dedicating 28 hardworking years. After retiring, Jimmy had more time to play golf and shortly started working for Little Creek Golf Course where he would golf with the “Seniors” and on Friday’s meet up with family and friends. He enjoyed monthly morning breakfast with his Kroger buddies, daily visits to Lanyi’s Golf Shop, and spending quality time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He was an avid MOUNTAINEER FAN with a contagious laugh and beautiful smile.
