James F. Church

Jim Church was born in Beaumont, Texas on April 29, 1935, and passed away on September 4 , 2016, at Providence Hospice in Everett, Wash. His loving wife, Eleanor and his children, Craig and Janet were by his side as he exited this world in a peaceful and loving way… just as he lived his life. Jim's career was dedicated to technology, first as a systems analyst for IBM, then sales management at multiple computer companies and finally as an executive recruiter. If you needed an idea, Jim always had a good one for you! His most rewarding work was in service to others, including sitting on the boards of: Bellevue Schools, Evergreen Recovery Center, Snohomish Rotary and the Snohomish Education Foundation. Jim was an active and dedicated member of the Episcopal Church at parish, diocesan and national levels. However, his most important service was to his fellow members of AA, where he was a member for 38 years. He sponsored many people, all who have shared their appreciation for him with his family. Jim's greatest love was his family, Eleanor, Craig, Janet, his daughter-in-law, Isabel and his two wonderful grandchildren, Madeline (19) and Liam (14). The funeral service will be held at Jim and Eleanor's home church, St. John's Episcopal Church, 913 2nd St, Snohomish, WA on September 17, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. Memorial donations may be made to: The Snohomish Education Foundation at www.snoed.org or The Sjogren's Foundation at www.sjogrens.org.
