Jimmie Greeley Obituary

JIMMIE RAY GREELEY
November 27, 1938 - April 15, 2020
Jim Greeley went to be with the Lord on April 15, 2020. Jim was born to Floyd and Margaret Greeley in Hamlet, Nebraska on November 27, 1938. He graduated from Wauneta High School in 1957. On May 24, 1959 he married Mary Webster. Jim served in the Air Force and retired after 20 years in 1978. Following his service he went into the construction field as a superintendent, and later started his own company Century Construction and Sons. He enjoyed wood working, reloading, and hunting with the boys. He was known for his contagious laugh, his ornery sense of humor, and his great love for his family. Jim is survived by his children Craig (Peggy), Todd (Jennifer), Mark (Karla), and Anabeth (Paul) Lunghofer, 7 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and his siblings Gary (Dawanna), Sheila (Jim) Knudsen and Terry (Gwen) Greeley. He was preceded in death by his wife Mary of 59 years, his sister Patti Greeley-Roth, and niece Jennifer Knudsen Bergsten.
Please view the Swan Law website for information on his memorial service planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Mill trade school. Peyton Way Foundation, 13990 Bradshaw Road, Peyton, CO 80831. Attention: Al Kearse
