Jim Leeming Obituary
Jim Leeming
ROSCOE - Jim Leeming of Roscoe, MT went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on October 20, 2022, surrounded by family and friends.
He was born February 20, 1927, in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Margaret and James W. Leeming Sr. In WW II, he served in the Navy in the South Pacific aboard the USS Indus AKN 1 and the USS Sarsfield DD 837. Jim graduated from the University of Illinois, Urbana, IL and was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering. He married Lois Ann Heller of Montpelier, OH in 1950.
Jim decided to take early retirement and moved to the cabin he built in Roscoe, MT. During his life, he lived in many places, Homewood and Flossmoor, IL, Sudbury, MA, Villa Park and San Clemente, CA, Roscoe, and finally, Great Falls.
He enjoyed attending church regularly at the Absarokee Evangelical Church. One of his many activities was to volunteer at Beartooth Manor, Columbus, MT, where he participated in the services for over twenty years. Jim even wrote a book about "Joy," one of his favorite subjects. His hope for you and for future generations is that you find the JOY he had in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
Jim is survived by his four daughters, Linda Lee, Carruth Ann, Nancy Jane, and Jody Pamela; eight grandchildren; and twenty-six great-grandchildren, all of whom he loved dearly and admired greatly. Preceded in death by his parents, and Jim and Jane Reger

My sincere love and heartfelt sympathy to Jim's daughters and their families. I worked in the Activity Department at Beartooth Manor for 30 years and your dad Jim was one of my favorite volunteers. I admired his faith and dedication to our residents and loved listening to his "life stories". On our last visit, he was so happy to be moving to Great Falls to be closer to his family. I am so blessed to have known Jim and to be able to call him my friend.
Betty Ames, former Activity Director @ Beartooth Manor.
