James Felker Obituary

Published by Legacy on Sep. 10, 2025.
James Norman Felker Sr., 83, passed away peacefully on September 4, 2025, in Spring Hill, Florida. Born on September 24, 1941, in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, James was the son of Margaret Cavalier and Norman Felker. He graduated from Pottsville Area High School in 1960 and went on to build a life marked by dedication to his family and his work. James was the proud owner of Jim Felker Masonry, where he poured his heart into every project. Known for being loving, caring, kind, and involved, he left a lasting impression not only through the structures he helped build but also through the relationships he nurtured along the way.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Donna Felker; their four children: Lori Felker, Norman Felker, James Felker, and Russel Felker; eight grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren, who brought him immense pride and joy. His cherished pets, Molly and Charlie, were also close companions in his later years. James was preceded in death by his mother, Margaret Edwards, and his father, Norman Felker. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.

His celebration of life will be set at a later date.
