Jimmy Lee “Doc” Harrington, age 81, passed away on Monday, August 25, 2025, at his home in Atkins, VA.
Jimmy was born in Smyth County, VA, to the late William Fred Harrington and Ola Mae Bullins Harrington. He was also preceded in death by his brothers Garland Harrington, Willis Harrington, Ray Harrington, and Harold Harrington, as well as his sister, Rose Mary Harrington.
Jimmy retired from the Virginia Department of Transportation, where he served as superintendent over Chilhowie and Broadford. To his coworkers, he was known as “Doc.” A man of strong faith, he was a founding member of Freedom Tabernacle Baptist Church. Jimmy was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who dearly loved children, especially his grandchildren. He enjoyed spending time outdoors and could often be found hunting or fishing.
Survivors include his wife, Linda Gay Harrington; children, Danny Harrington and wife Becky Tucker Harrington, Barry Harrington and wife Jennifer Nannette Harrington, Brian Harrington and wife Melissa Harrington, and Jennifer Hamm and husband David Hamm; grandchildren, Chance, Brady, Tanner, Connor, Raygan, and Trevan; sister, Margaret Bell; sisters-in-law, Carrine Harrington and Barbara Harrington; and several nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Wythe Hospice of Southwest Virginia for the compassionate care given to Jimmy. They would also like to express their gratitude to all family, friends, and neighbors for the food, prayers, and many acts of kindness shown during this difficult time.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, August 28, 2025, from 5–7 PM at Bradley’s Funeral Home in Marion. Private graveside services will be held Friday at Resurrection Gardens at Freedom Tabernacle Baptist Church with Pastor Mike Sage and Pastor Tim Boardwine officiating.
