James Harold Sellers
1925-2022
James Harold Sellers died July 26, 2022 at Bethany House in Auburn, Alabama surrounded by his love ones. He was born in Tallapoosa County on October 30, 1925. His father later moved the family to Lee County, Alabama.
At 18 he was drafted and served in World War II in the US Army in Europe and the Pacific. He was discharged as a Staff Sergeant. When he came back home, he met our beautiful mother, Peggy Daniel and they were happily married for 68 years.
Mr. Sellers was preceded in death by his loving wife, Peggy Daniel Sellers, his parents William Andrew and Mattie McDonald Sellers and all six siblings, Archie (Geneva) Sellers, Doris (Eric) Affolter, June (Ophelia) Sellers, Lewis (Marjorie) Sellers, Sara (Harry) Milner and Donald Sellers.
He is survived by his four children, Larry (Connie) Sellers, Myra (Johnny) Yates, Randy (Elaine) Sellers and Hal (Judy) Sellers, nine grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
He was an avid gardener and loved to play the stock market and he was very good at both.
We would like to thank the staff at Valley Park Manor for their wonderful care of our father the last two years of his life. We would also like to thank Chattahoochee Hospice and Bethany House for their great care and compassion also.
There will be a graveside service at Shady Grove Cemetery, Opelika, Alabama on Monday, August 1, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Dr. Jeff Redmon officiating.
